Famous quotes containing the word death:

    The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows for the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Taking a child to the toy store is the nearest thing to a death wish parents can have.
    Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

    ... the heart monitor,
    the death cricket bleeping.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
