Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Lucas: You’re the Democratic nominee for Senator.
    John McKay: You make that sound like a death sentence.”
    —Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter. Lucas (Peter Boyle)

    “But, when nothing subsists from a distant past, after the death of others, after the destruction of objects, only the senses of smell and taste, weaker but more enduring, more intangible, more persistent, more faithful, continue for a long time, like souls, to remember, to wait, to hope, on the ruins of all the rest, to bring without flinching, on their nearly impalpable droplet, the immense edifice of memory.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “So he with difficulty and labour hard
    Moved on, with difficulty and labour he;
    But he once passed, soon after when man fell,
    Strange alteration! Sin and Death amain
    Following his track, such was the will of Heaven,
    Paved after him a broad and beaten way
    Over the dark abyss, whose boiling gulf
    Tamely endured a bridge of wondrous length
    From hell continued reaching th’ utmost orb
    Of this frail world;”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
