Famous quotes containing the words illness and/or death:
“...his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings 17:17.
“Night is a dead monotonous period under a roof; but in the open world it passes lightly, with its stars and dews and perfumes, and the hours are marked by changes in the face of Nature. What seems a kind of temporal death to people choked between walls and curtains, is only a light and living slumber to the man who sleeps afield.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
