Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Consider his life which was valueless
    In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
    Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
    Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
    On the death of one so young and so silly
    Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
    —Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

    “Taking a child to the toy store is the nearest thing to a death wish parents can have.”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
