Quotes by Zygmunt Bauman

Quotes by Zoe Wanamaker

There is something about poverty that smells like death.

Quotes by Zora Neale Hurston

Quotes by Yuvraj Singh

I've been doing extremely dangerous activities for a long time, but I've been lucky enough to have survived so far. However, sooner or later we all die... and, if that's the case, I want to die doing what I love to do the most. That's how I view death.

Quotes by Yuichiro Miura

When I planned to ski Everest, the first thing I faced was, 'How can I return alive?' All the preparation and training was based on this question.

Quotes by Yance Ford

You can't quantify human pain the way you can measure out sugar. Death comes one individual at a time.

Quotes by Yann Martel

Quotes by Yamamoto Tsunetomo

Quotes by Xenophon

Quarreling over food and drink, having neither scruples nor shame, not knowing right from wrong, not trying to avoid death or injury, not fearful of greater strength or of greater numbers, greedily aware only of food and drink - such is the bravery of the dog and boar.

Quotes by Wallace Stevens
