Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “If it be aught toward the general good,
    Set honor in one eye, and death i’th’ other,
    And I will look on both indifferently;
    For let the gods so speed me as I love
    The name of honor more than I fear death.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Yet the wound, O see the wound
    This petrified heart has taken,
    Because, created deathless,
    Nothing but death remained
    To scatter magnificence....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Can even death dry up
    These new delighted lakes, conclude
    Our kneeling as cattle by all-generous waters?”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
