Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “Time is here and you’ll go his way.
    Your lung is waiting in the death market.
    Your face beside me will grow indifferent.
    Darling, you will yield up your belly and be
    cored like an apple.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “If thee thy brittle beauty so deceives,
    Know then the thing that swells thee is thy bane;
    For the same beauty doth, in bloody leaves.
    The sentence of thy early death contain.”
    —Sir Richard Fanshawe (1608–1666)

    “Death destroys a man: the idea of Death saves him.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
