Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Life is grown sweeter and lonelier,
    And death is no evil.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    For ‘tis not in mere death that men die most.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    And Death fell with me, like a deepening moan.
    And He, picking a manner of worm, which half had hid
    Its bruises in the earth, but crawled no further,
    Showed me its feet, the feet of many men,
    And the fresh-severed head of it, my head.
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
