Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Your father was ever virtuous, and holy men at their death have good inspirations.”

On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth—
Assorted characters of death and blight”

“Our treatment of both older people and children reflects the value we place on independence and autonomy. We do our best to make our children independent from birth. We leave them all alone in rooms with the lights out and tell them, “Go to sleep by yourselves.” And the old people we respect most are the ones who will fight for their independence, who would sooner starve to death than ask for help.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
