Famous quotes containing the word death:

    “The breath of an aristocrat is the death rattle of freedom.”
    —Georg Büchner (1813–1837)

    “hung up like a pig on exhibit,
    the delicate wrists,
    the beard drooling blood and vinegar;
    hooked to your own weight,
    jolting toward death under your nameplate.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Dreams pursue death as winds a flying fire,
    Our dreams pursue our dead and do not find.”
