Famous quotes containing the word death:

    After my death I wish no other herald,
    No other speaker of my living actions
    To keep mine honor from corruption,
    But such an honest chronicler as Griffith.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I knew the poor,
    I knew the hideous death they die,
    when famine lays its bleak hand on the door;
    I knew the rich,
    sated with merriment,
    who yet are sad.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    I’m afraid of needles.
    I’m tired of rubber sheets and tubes.
    I’m tired of faces that I don’t know
    and now I think that death is starting.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
