Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “If thou art rich, thou’rt poor,
    For like an ass, whose back with ingots bows,
    Thou bear’st thy heavy riches but a journey,
    And death unloads thee.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)

    “No man may him hide
    From Death hollow-eyed,”
    —John Skelton (1460?–1529)
