Famous quotes containing the word death:

    For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    You’re very beautiful. So beautiful I’m going to make you immortal. Like Kharis, you will live forever. What I can do for you I can also do for myself. Neither time nor death can touch us. You and I together for eternity here in the temple of Karnak. You shall be my high priestess.
    Griffin Jay, Maxwell Shane (1905–1983)
