Delphi (Pantheon) - Death's Head

Famous quotes containing the words death and/or head:

“There is something antique, even, in his style of treating his subject, reminding us that Heroes and Demi-gods, Fates and Furies, still exist; the common man is nothing to him, but after death the hero is apotheosized and has a place in heaven, as in the religion of the Greeks.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“When we stand the truth on its head we generally fail to notice that our head is not standing where it should be standing either.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
