Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “when it comes to my death let it be slow,
    let it be pantomime, this last peep show,
    so that I may squat at the edge trying on
    my black necessary trousseau.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Not one death but many,
    not accumulation but change, the feed-back proves, the feed-back is
    the law”
    —Charles Olson (1910–1970)

    “I used to think of death ... like I suppose soldiers think of it: it was a possible thing that I could well avoid by my skill.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
