Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.”
    —John Cheever (1912–1982)

    “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)

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