Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “and so this tree—
    Oh, that such our death may be!—
    Died in sleep, and felt no pain,
    To live in happier form again:
    From which, beneath Heaven’s fairest star,
    The artist wrought this loved guitar;”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “When death comes too near, comedy and tragedy fall silent.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Yet the wound, O see the wound
    This petrified heart has taken,
    Because, created deathless,
    Nothing but death remained
    To scatter magnificence....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
