Famous quotes containing the word death:

    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)

    She sought her happiness exclusively in the happiness of others. Death gave her her own.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
