Famous quotes containing the word death:

    In every unbeliever’s heart there is an uneasy feeling that, after all, he may awake after death and find himself immortal. This is his punishment for his unbelief. This is the agnostic’s Hell.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

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

    My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
    And in the heavens write your glorious name.
    Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,
    Our love shall live, and later life renew.
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
