Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It's a palliative. The remedy is death.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

2.
The difficulty about all this dying, is that you can't tell a fellow anything about it, so where does the fun come in?
James, Alice

3.
Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing. We are sentenced to die the day we're born.
Gilmore, Gary Mark

4.
There was something awesome in the thought of the solitary mortal standing by the open window and summoning in from the gloom outside the spirits of the nether world.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

5.
But learn that to die is a debt we must all pay.
Euripides

6.
I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

7.
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg

8.
I hope the leaving is joyful; and I hope never to return.
Frida Kahlo

9.
Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.
Merton, Thomas

10.
At death we cross from one territory to another, but we'll have no trouble with visas. Our representative is already there, preparing for our arrival. As citizens of heaven, our entrance is incontestable.
Lutzer, Erwin W.

11.
Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever.
Keats, John

12.
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri

13.
In the last analysis it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions life puts to us.
Hammarskjold, Dag

14.
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

15.
I really wanted to die at certain periods in my life. Death was like love, a romantic escape. I took pills because I didn't want to throw myself off my balcony and know people would photograph me lying dead below.
Bardot, Brigitte

16.
So every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare

17.
How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool of life?
Bright, Grant M.

18.
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney

19.
We all of us waited for him to die. The family sent him a check every month, and hoped he'd get on with it quietly, without too much vulgar fuss.
Osborne, John

20.
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond

21.
Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.
Luther, Martin

22.
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus

23.
I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwreck, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotency might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.
Donne, John

24.
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.
Edith Sitwell

25.
Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
Aurelius, Marcus

26.
The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
Lucan, F. L.

27.
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Greene, Graham

28.
No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness.
Broch, Hermann

29.
We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.
Chopra, Deepak

30.
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Camus, Albert

31.
Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.
Ellis, Alice Thomas

32.
Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go.
La Fontaine, Jean De

33.
Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred --it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the dropsy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust --the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness.
Hazlitt, William

34.
The essential part of our being can only survive if the transient part dissolves. Death is a condition of survival. That which has been gained must be eternalized, and can only be eternalized by being transmuted, by passing through death they must return
Khan, Pir Vilayat

35.
Death is the great adventure beside which moon landings and space trips pale into insignificance.
Bayly, Joseph

36.
It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.
Woody Allen

37.
The course of my long life hath reached at last in fragile bark over a tempestuous sea the common harbor, where must rendered be account for all the actions of the past.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

38.
We all have to die some day, if we live long enough.
Farber, Dave

39.
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.

40.
The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself.
Publilius Syrus

41.
As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus

42.
The Father is the Giver of Life; but the Mother is the Giver of Death, because her womb is the gate of ingress to matter, and through her life is ensouled to form, and no form can be either infinite or eternal. Death is implicit in birth.
Kabbalah

43.
To be born free is an accident; To live free a responsibility; To die free is an obligation.
Davis, Mrs Hubbard

44.
A human act once set in motion flows on forever to the great account. Our deathlessness is in what we do, not in what we are.
Meredith, George

45.
Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep; and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown; all's fish that comes to his net; he throws at all, and sweeps stakes; he's no mower that takes a nap at noon-day, but drives on, fair weather or foul, and cuts down the green grass as well as the ripe corn: he's neither squeamish nor queesy-stomach d, for he swallows without chewing, and crams down all things into his ungracious maw; and you can see no belly he has, he has a confounded dropsy, and thirsts after men's lives, which he gurgles down like mother's milk.
Cervantes, Miguel De

46.
Since the death instinct exists in the heart of everything that lives, since we suffer from trying to repress it, since everything that lives longs for rest, let us unfasten the ties that bind us to life, let us cultivate our death wish, let us develop it, water it like a plant, let it grow unhindered. Suffering and fear are born from the repression of the death wish.
Ionesco, Eugene

47.
There's a strange sort of quiet when you're dying. It's as if you're in a glass room, and the walls keep getting thicker and thicker.
Gabrielle Zevin

48.
If some persons died, and others did not die, death would be a terrible affliction.
La Bruyere, Jean De

49.
dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call.
Plath, Sylvia

50.
I warmed both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
Landor, Walter Savage
