Famous quotes containing the word death:

    if once the message greet him
    That his True Love doth stay,
    If Death should come and meet him,
    Love will find out the way!
    —Unknown. Love Will Find Out the Way (l. 53–56)

    Within the hollow crown
    That rounds the mortal temples of a king
    Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
    Scoffing his state and mocking at his pomp,
    Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
    To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Tear out the close vermiculate crease
    Where death crawled angrily at bay.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
