The silver swan, who, living had no note, When death approached unlocked her silent throat.
He has not lived badly whose birth and death has been unnoticed by the world.
I once interviewed my grandma for a class project about the Second World War. After 70 years filled with marriage, children, grandchildren, death, poverty and triumph, the thing about which she was unquestionably the proudest and most excited was that she and her family did their part during the war.
Are there moments when I see unrequited crushes or ex-boyfriends slow dancing with their dates and kind of want to stab myself in the spleen with a salad fork? Yeah, sure.
On the streets, unrequited love and death go together almost as often as in Shakespeare.
In current times, our moral uproar is best reserved for those who aspire to stone men or women to death, not those who consensually watch women - or men, for that matter - dance.
The Supreme Court of the United States... has validated the Nazi method of execution in... concentration camps, starving them to death.
Even in the valley of the shadow of death, two and two do not make six.
What makes us really human is it's in the presence of death that we start valuing life.
I don't think there is life beyond death. I don't. But I do believe that we get this clarity in the last minute of our life. The titles we achieved, the honors we managed, they all vanish. You are left alone with you and your deeds and the things you didn't do.
An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated.
I'm always on the verge of death in my head.
My mother used to tell me about vibrations. I didn't really understand too much of what that meant when I was just a boy. To think that invisible feelings, invisible vibrations existed scared me to death.
I was taught to confront things you can't avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you're trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don't last for ever makes them beautiful.
'Pompeii' will be PG-13. I think it has to have a level of violence and death in it because you've got a volcano exploding. But it will be another PG-13 movie.
Good taste is death; vulgarity is life.
Death is the final wake-up call.
Trying to make a movie like 'Warcraft,' and trying to do it in a unique way... you get killed by a death of 1,000 cuts.
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.
