Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Now they heap the funeral pyre,
    And the torch of death they light;
    Ah! ‘tis hard to die by fire!
    William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)

    What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.
    Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)

    Sinks to the deep abyss where Satan crawls
    Where horrid Death and Despair lies.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
