Famous quotes containing the words exile and/or death:

    “Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say “death”;
    For exile hath more terror in his look,
    Much more than death. Do not say “banishment!””
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main.... Any man’s death diminishes me because I am involved in Mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
    —John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
