Famous quotes containing the word death:
“To these, whom Death again did wed,
This grave’s the second Marriage-bed.”

Our loves into corpses or wives;
And marriage and death and division
Make barren our lives.”

“Within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and mocking at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
