Famous quotes containing the words life and/or death:

    “The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness. He alone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past them in a kind of dream.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “Tear out the close vermiculate crease
    Where death crawled angrily at bay.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
