Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Our love is old, our lives are old,
    And death shall come amain:
    Should it come today, what man may say
    We shall not live again?”
    —Langdon Smith (1858–1908)

    “From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death would speedily ensue. It is one of the tamest of platitudes but it is always introduced by a flourish of trumpets.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “Life contracts and death is expected,
    As in a season of autumn.
    The soldier falls.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
