Famous quotes containing the word death:
“The child who enters life comes not with knowledge or intent,
So those who enter death must go as little children sent.
Nothing is known. But I believe that God is overhead;
And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead.”
—Mary Mapes Dodge (1831–1905)
“Monarchs ought to put to death the authors and instigators of war, as their sworn enemies and as dangers to their states.”

Our dreams pursue our dead and do not find.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
