Death Quotes
Death is always around the corner, but often our society gives it inordinate help.
Carter Burwell
Sweet is true love though given in vain, in vain;
And sweet is death who puts an end to pain:
I know not which is sweeter, no, not I.
Love, art thou sweet? then bitter death must be:
Love, thou art bitter; sweet is death to me.
O Love, if death be sweeter, let me die.
...

I needs must follow death, who calls for me;
Call and I follow, I follow! let me die.

Remember not this caravan of death,
But have belief that every little breath
Will stay with you for an eternity.
