Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “It is not death therefore that is burdensome, but the fear of death.”
    —Ambrose (c. 333–397)

    “At noon, you walk across a river. It is dry, with not this much water: it is just stones and pebbles. But it rains cats and dogs in the mountains, and towards afternoon, the water descends wildly and she ravages all in its path, the madwoman. That is how death comes. Without our expecting it, and we cannot do a thing against it, brothers.”
    —Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

    “I do not find
    The Hanged Man. Fear death by water.
    I see crowds of people, walking round in a ring.
    Thank you.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
