Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Liberal hopefulness
    Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.
    William Empson (1906–1984)

    for it is not so much to know the self
    as to know it as it is known
    by galaxy and cedar cone,
    as if birth had never found it

    and death could never end it:
    Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    Sinks to the deep abyss where Satan crawls
    Where horrid Death and Despair lies.
