Death makes no conquest of this conqueror: For now he lives in fame, though not in life.
William ShakespeareIt is silliness to live when to live is torment, and then have we a prescription to die when death is our physician.
William ShakespeareIf there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness, did lay siege to it, Making it momentary as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream, Brief as the lightning in the collied night That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!' The jaws of darkness do devour it up; So quick bright things come to confusion.
William Shakespeare
