Famous quotes containing the word death:

    ... while many people pride themselves, and with no exaggeration, on their ability to hear with sympathy of the downfall, sickness, and death of others, very few people seem to know what to do with a report of joy, happiness, good luck.
    Jessamyn West (1902–1984)

    I was now at a university in New York, a professor of existential psychology with the not inconsiderable thesis that magic, dread, and the perception of death were the roots of motivation.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    We all labour against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
    Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
