Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Thou hast made me, and shall thy work decay?
    Repair me now, for now mine end doth haste;
    I run to death, and death meets me as fast,
    And all my pleasures are like yesterday.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    You don’t send a man to his death because you want a hero.
