Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Ai! ai! we do worse! We are in a fix! And you’re out, Death let
    you out, Death had the Mercy, you’re done with your century, done with God, done with the path thru it—”
    —Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    “The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day.
    What instruments we have agree
    The day of his death was a dark cold day.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “‘Tis no great valor to perish sword in hand, and bravado on lip; cased all in panoply complete. For even the alligator dies in his mail, and the swordfish never surrenders. To expire, mild-eyed, in one’s bed, transcends the death of Epaminondas.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
