Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Accordingly, death is a harbor of peace for the just, but is believed a shipwreck for the wicked.”
    —Ambrose (c. 333–397)

    “So much of motion, is so much of life, and so much of joy—and ... to stand still, or get on but slowly, is death and the devil.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him meerly seise me, and onely declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwrack, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotencie might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.”
    —John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
