Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “For in the word death
    There is nothing to grasp; nothing to catch or claim;
    Nothing to adapt the skill of the heart to, skill
    In surviving, for death it cannot survive,
    Only resign the irrecoverable keys.
    The wave falters and drowns. The coulter of joy
    Breaks. The harrow of death
    Depends. And there are thrown up waves.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Sinks to the deep abyss where Satan crawls
    Where horrid Death and Despair lies.”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    “Old age is a tyrant that forbids us upon pain of death all the pleasures of youth.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
