Famous quotes containing the word death:

    From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death would speedily ensue. It is one of the tamest of platitudes but it is always introduced by a flourish of trumpets.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    Men are fools that wish to die!
    Is ‘t not fine to dance and sing
    When the bells of death do ring?
    Unknown. Hey Nonny No! (L. 2–4)
