Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Only death rescues us from dying.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I asked myself, “Is it going to prevent me from getting out of here? Is there a risk of death attached to it? Is it permanently disabling? Is it permanently disfiguring? Lastly, is it excruciating?” If it doesn’t fit one of those five categories, then it isn’t important.”
—Rhonda Cornum, United States Army Major. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, “Perspectives” page (July 13, 1992)
“... the heart monitor,
the death cricket bleeping.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
