Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “It was not death he feared—it was the disgrace of death, and the misery of the ignominious preparations. He knew in his heart that heaven could not call it murder that he had done; but he felt equally sure that man would do so.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “Do but consider this small dust, here running in the glass,
    By atoms moved.
    Could you believe that this the body was
    Of one that loved?
    And in his mistress’ flame playing like a fly,
    Turned to cinders by her eye?
    Yes, and in death as life unblest,
    To have’t expressed,
    Even ashes of lovers find no rest.”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “Life contracts and death is expected,
    As in a season of autumn.
    The soldier falls.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
