Famous quotes containing the words sudden and/or death:

    “Christianity was only a very strong and singularly well-timed Salvation Army movement that happened to receive help from an unusual and highly dramatic incident.

    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “This death was his belief though death is a stone.
    This man loved earth, not heaven, enough to die.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
