Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Go; and if that word have not quite killed thee,
    Ease me with death by bidding me got too.
    Oh, if it have, let my word work on me,
    And a just office on a murderer do.
    Except it be too late to kill me so,
    Being double dead: going, and bidding go.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “Only death rescues us from dying.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Our love is old, our lives are old,
    And death shall come amain:
    Should it come today, what man may say
    We shall not live again?”
    —Langdon Smith (1858–1908)
