Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “The child who enters life comes not with knowledge or intent,
    So those who enter death must go as little children sent.
    Nothing is known. But I believe that God is overhead;
    And as life is to the living, so death is to the dead.”
    —Mary Mapes Dodge (1831–1905)

    “I don’t see no way out but death and, Caleb, you are up against a hard game when you got to die to beat it.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
