Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “O mortal folk, you may behold and see
    How I lie here, sometime a mighty knight;
    The end of joy and all prosperity
    Is death at last, thorough his course and might;”
    —Stephen Hawes (1474–1528)

    “I cannot think this creature died
    By storm or fish or sea-fowl harmed
    Walking the sea so heavily armed;
    Or does it make for death to be
    Oneself a living armoury?”
    —Andrew Young (1885–1971)
