Famous quotes containing the word death:

    For death is not the worst, but when one wants to die and is not able even to have that.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    For the wretched one night is like a thousand; for someone faring well death is just one more night.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    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)
