Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Two graves must hide thine and my corse;
    If one might, death were no divorce.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?
    Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

    There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
