Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Do thou but close our hands with holy words,
    Then love-devouring death do what he dare,
    It is enough I may but call her mine.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    He should be as vigorous as a sugar maple, with sap enough to maintain his own verdure,... and not like a vine, which being cut in the spring bears no fruit, but bleeds to death in the endeavor to heal its wounds.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.
    Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
