Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Death is too much for men to bear, whereas women, who are practiced in bearing the deaths of men before their own and who are also practiced in bearing life, take death almost in stride. They go to meet death—that is, they attempt suicide—twice as often as men, though men are more “successful” because they use surer weapons, like guns.”
    —Roger Rosenblatt (b. 1940)

    “For death is not the worst, but when one wants to die and is not able even to have that.”
    —Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    “How many wives have been forced by the death of well-intentioned but too protective husbands to face reality late in life, bewildered and frightened because they were strangers to it!”
    —Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
