Famous quotes containing the word death:

    It is certainly safe, in view of the movement to the right of intellectuals and political thinkers, to pronounce the brain death of socialism.
    Norman Tebbit (b. 1931)

    How I envy you death;
    what could death bring,
    more black, more set with sparks
    to slay, to affright,
    than the memory of those first violets.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Cry woe, destruction, ruin, and decay:
    The worst is death, and death will have his day.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
