Famous quotes containing the words age and/or death:
“Every age has its temptations, its weaknesses, its dangers. Ours is in the line of the snobbish and the sordid.”

“At noon, you walk across a river. It is dry, with not this much water: it is just stones and pebbles. But it rains cats and dogs in the mountains, and towards afternoon, the water descends wildly and she ravages all in its path, the madwoman. That is how death comes. Without our expecting it, and we cannot do a thing against it, brothers.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
