Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “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)
