Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Can even death dry up
    These new delighted lakes, conclude
    Our kneeling as cattle by all-generous waters?”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    “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)
