Famous quotes containing the word death:

    For, surely, surely, where
    Your voice and graces are,
    Nothing of death can any feel or know.
    Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    I shall die as my fathers died, and sleep as they sleep; even so.
    For the glass of the years is brittle wherein we gaze for a span;
    A little soul for a little bears up this corpse which is man.
    So long I endure, no longer; and laugh not again, neither weep.
    For there is no God found stronger than death; and death is a sleep.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    Surrealism is merely the reflection of the death process. It is one of the manifestations of a life becoming extinct, a virus which quickens the inevitable end.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
