Famous quotes containing the words death and/or legacy:

    “For in the word death
    There is nothing to grasp; nothing to catch or claim;
    Nothing to adapt the skill of the heart to, skill
    In surviving, for death it cannot survive,
    Only resign the irrecoverable keys.
    The wave falters and drowns. The coulter of joy
    Breaks. The harrow of death
    Depends. And there are thrown up waves.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
    —Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
