Famous quotes containing the word death:

    I am tired with my own life and the lives of those after me,
    I am dying in my own death and the deaths of those after me.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    In the whole vast dome of living nature there reigns an open violence, a kind of prescriptive fury which arms all the creatures to their common doom: as soon as you leave the inanimate kingdom you find the decree of violent death inscribed on the very frontiers of life.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
