Famous quotes containing the word death:

    I know death hath ten thousand several doors
    For men to take their exits.
    John Webster (1580–1625)

    Could any death be so horrible as birth? Or any decrepitude so awful as childhood in a happy united God-fearing family?
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    One is apt to be discouraged by the frequency with which Mr. Hardy has persuaded himself that a macabre subject is a poem in itself; that, if there be enough of death and the tomb in one’s theme, it needs no translation into art, the bold statement of it being sufficient.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)
