Famous quotes containing the words death and/or threats:
“My glass shall not persuade me I am old
So long as youth and thou are of one date,
But when in thee times furrows I behold,
Then look I death my days should expiate.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Among the best traitors Ireland has ever had, Mother Church ranks at the very top, a massive obstacle in the path to equality and freedom. She has been a force for conservatism, not on the basis of preserving Catholic doctrine or preventing the corruption of her children, but simply to ward off threats to her own security and influence.”
—Bernadette Devlin (b. 1947)
