Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Farewell deare flowers, sweetly your time ye spent,
Fit, while ye livd, for smell or ornament,
And after death for cures.
I follow straight without complaints or grief,
Since if my sent be good, I care not, if
It be as short as yours.”
—George Herbert (15931633)
“Or if no thing but death will serve thy turn,
Still thirsting for subversion of my state,
Do what thou canst, raze, massacre, and burn,
Let the world see the utmost of thy hate;”
—Michael Drayton (15631631)
“I dont know much about death and the sorriest lesson Ive learned is that words, my most trusted guardians against chaos, offer small comfort in the face of anyones dying.”
—Alison Hawthorne Deming (b. 1946)
