More From Rabindranath Tagore

More In Death
- "That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life."― Amelia Barr
- "For centuries the death penalty, often accompanied by barbarous refinements, has been trying to hold crime in check; yet crime persists. Why? Because the instincts that are warring in man are not, as the law claims, constant forces in a state of equilibrium."― Albert Camus
- "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated."― Paul McCartney
