Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Death destroys a man, but the idea of death saves him.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “‘Tis no great valor to perish sword in hand, and bravado on lip; cased all in panoply complete. For even the alligator dies in his mail, and the swordfish never surrenders. To expire, mild-eyed, in one’s bed, transcends the death of Epaminondas.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Tear out the close vermiculate crease
    Where death crawled angrily at bay.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
