Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main.... Any man’s death diminishes me because I am involved in Mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
    —John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    “I used to think of death ... like I suppose soldiers think of it: it was a possible thing that I could well avoid by my skill.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
