Famous quotes containing the word death:
“To these, whom Death again did wed,
This graves the second Marriage-bed.”

“If thou art rich, thourt poor,
For like an ass, whose back with ingots bows,
Thou bearst thy heavy riches but a journey,
And death unloads thee.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.”
—John Cheever (19121982)
