Famous quotes containing the word death:

—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“The only way out is the way through, just as you cannot escape from death except by dying. Being unable to write, you must examine in writing this being unable, which becomes for the present—henceforth?—the subject to which you are condemned.”
—Howard Nemerov (1920–1991)
“There is no sorrow more grievous than the death of one’s spirit.”
—Chinese proverb.
