Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “if once the message greet him
    That his True Love doth stay,

    Love will find out the way!”

    “I admit that the generation which produced Stalin, Auschwitz and Hiroshima will take some beating; but the radical and universal consciousness of the death of God is still ahead of us; perhaps we shall have to colonize the stars before it is finally borne in upon us that God is not out there.”
    —R.J. Hollingdale (b. 1930)
