Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “It is not love you will find:
    You have no limbs
    Crying for stillness, you have no mind
    Trembling with seraphim,
    You have no death to come.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “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)

    “I do not find
    The Hanged Man. Fear death by water.
    I see crowds of people, walking round in a ring.
    Thank you.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
