Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Every American, to the last man, lays claim to a “sense” of humor and guards it as his most significant spiritual trait, yet rejects humor as a contaminating element wherever found. America is a nation of comics and comedians; nevertheless, humor has no stature and is accepted only after the death of the perpetrator.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    When Death to either shall come—
    I pray it be first to me.
    Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

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