Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “O Lord, methought what pain it was to drown,
    What dreadful noise of waters in my ears!
    What sights of ugly death within my eyes!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death freely chosen, death at the right time, brightly and cheerfully accomplished amid children and witnesses: then a real farewell is still possible, as the one who is taking leave is still there; also a real estimate of what one has wished, drawing the sum of one’s life—all in opposition to the wretched and revolting comedy that Christianity has made of the hour of death.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
