Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Oh Death he is a little man,
And he goes from do’ to do’ ...”

On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth—
Assorted characters of death and blight”

“To die, to sleep—
No more, and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to—’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
Must give us pause.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
