Famous quotes containing the word death:

    ... probably all of the women in this book are working to make part of the same quilt to keep us from freezing to death in a world that grows harsher and bleaker—where male is the norm and the ideal human being is hard, violent and cold: a macho rock. Every woman who makes of her living something strong and good is sharing bread with us.
    Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    Hunger shall make thy modest zone
    And cheat fond death of all but bone—
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    Lucas: You’re the Democratic nominee for Senator.
    John McKay: You make that sound like a death sentence.
    Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter. Lucas (Peter Boyle)
