Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Because men really respect only that which was founded of old and has developed slowly, he who wants to live on after his death must take care not only of his posterity but even more of his past.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The breath of an aristocrat is the death rattle of freedom.”
    —Georg Büchner (1813–1837)

    “The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows for the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
