Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He’s got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won’t be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That’s all there is to it.”
    —Clark Gable (1901–1960)

    “for it is not so much to know the self
    as to know it as it is known
    by galaxy and cedar cone,
    as if birth had never found it

    and death could never end it:”
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    “Yea, worse than death: death parts both woe and joy:
    From joy I part, still living in annoy.”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
