Famous quotes containing the word death:

    ““Promise me solemnly,” I said to her as she lay on what I believed to be her death bed, “if you find in the world beyond the grave that you can communicate with me—that there is some way in which you can make me aware of your continued existence—promise me solemnly that you will never, never avail yourself of it.” She recovered and never, never forgave me.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “Only death rescues us from dying.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “if thou slip thy troth and do not come at all.
    As minutes in the clock do strike so call for death I shall:
    To please both thy false heart, and rid myself from woe,
    That rather had to die in troth than live forsaken so.”
    —Unknown. The Lady Prayeth the Return of Her Lover Abiding on the Seas (l. 19–22)
