Famous quotes containing the word death:

    An “unemployed” existence is a worse negation of life than death itself.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    There is something antique, even, in his style of treating his subject, reminding us that Heroes and Demi-gods, Fates and Furies, still exist; the common man is nothing to him, but after death the hero is apotheosized and has a place in heaven, as in the religion of the Greeks.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
