More From Walt Whitman
More In Death
- "Prohibit the taking of omens, and do away with superstitious doubts. Then, until death itself comes, no calamity need be feared."― Sun Tzu
- "You know, I’ve never actually really believed that death is inevitable. I just think it’s a rumor."― David Carradine
- "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."― Damien Hirst
