Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “I am tired with my own life and the lives of those after me,
    I am dying in my own death and the deaths of those after me.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “You stars that reigned at my nativity,
    Whose influence hath allotted death and hell.”
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    “Almost everybody in the neighborhood had “troubles,” frankly localized and specified; but only the chosen had “complications.” To have them was in itself a distinction, though it was also, in most cases, a death warrant. People struggled on for years with “troubles,” but they almost always succumbed to “complications.””
    —Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
