Famous quotes containing the word death:

    Lucas: You’re the Democratic nominee for Senator.
    John McKay: You make that sound like a death sentence.
    Jeremy Larner, U.S. screenwriter. Lucas (Peter Boyle)

    The grief of the keen is no personal complaint for the death of one woman over eighty years, but seems to contain the whole passionate rage that lurks somewhere in every native of the island. In this cry of pain the inner consciousness of the people seems to lay itself bare for an instant, and to reveal the mood of beings who feel their isolation in the face of a universe that wars on them with winds and seas.
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
