"Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever." ― John Keats Topic(s): Death More From John Keats "I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart’s affections, and the truth of imagination." "There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify – so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish." "I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion – I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more – I could be martyred for my religion – Love is my religion – I could die for that." More In Death "Lidia Bastianich, sorry, but kind of boring. I mean, I love Lidia, but you can fall asleep watching her. And Mario Batali? I love Mario to death… but he’s not romantic or sensual. Those are the things I bring to the table."― Giada De Laurentiis "Death is an absolute marvel."― William Shatner "But the first the general public learned about the discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb. A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction."― Joseph Rotblat
