Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “hung up like a pig on exhibit,
    the delicate wrists,
    the beard drooling blood and vinegar;
    hooked to your own weight,
    jolting toward death under your nameplate.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I’m afraid of needles.
    I’m tired of rubber sheets and tubes.
    I’m tired of faces that I don’t know
    and now I think that death is starting.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
