Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “We achieve “active” mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
    —Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

    “We all labour against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.”
    —Thomas Browne (1605–1682)

    “After my death I wish no other herald,
    No other speaker of my living actions
    To keep mine honor from corruption,
    But such an honest chronicler as Griffith.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
