Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “I shall die as my fathers died, and sleep as they sleep; even so.
    For the glass of the years is brittle wherein we gaze for a span;
    A little soul for a little bears up this corpse which is man.
    So long I endure, no longer; and laugh not again, neither weep.
    For there is no God found stronger than death; and death is a sleep.”
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    “Do thou but close our hands with holy words,
    Then love-devouring death do what he dare,
    It is enough I may but call her mine.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Now if thou wouldst, when all have given him over,
    From death to life thou mightst him yet recover.”
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
