Death Experience

Famous quotes containing the words death and/or experience:

    ‘Tis no great valor to perish sword in hand, and bravado on lip; cased all in panoply complete. For even the alligator dies in his mail, and the swordfish never surrenders. To expire, mild-eyed, in one’s bed, transcends the death of Epaminondas.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Doesn’t all experience crumble in the end to mere literary material?
    Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
