Famous quotes containing the word death:

    If thou art rich, thou’rt poor,
    For like an ass, whose back with ingots bows,
    Thou bear’st thy heavy riches but a journey,
    And death unloads thee.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The whole earth, perpetually steeped in blood, is nothing but an immense altar on which every living thing must be sacrificed without end, without restraint, without respite until the consummation of the world, the extinction of evil, the death of death.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)

    For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ.
    Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 15:21-22.
