Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “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)

    “Oh Death he is a little man,
    And he goes from do’ to do’ ...”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “You mustn’t be afraid of death. When this ship sailed, death sailed on her.”
    —Charles Larkworthy. Denison Clift. Anton Lorenzen (Bela Lugosi)
