Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Consider his life which was valueless
In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
On the death of one so young and so silly
Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
“The death of Satan was a tragedy
For the imagination.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

—Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
