Death

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
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
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

2.
Some dying men are the most tyrannical; and certainly, since they will shortly trouble us so little for evermore, the poor fellows ought to be indulged.
Melville, Herman

3.
The report of my death was an exaggeration.
Mark Twain

4.
How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool of life?
Bright, Grant M.

5.
When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity.
Eliot, George

6.
The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.
Addison, Joseph

7.
Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life.
Plutarch

8.
The dead look so terribly dead when they're dead.
W. Somerset Maugham

9.
It is impossible that anything so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death, should ever have been designed by Providence as an evil to mankind.
Jonathan Swift

10.
Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console.
Colton, Charles Caleb

11.
To die is but to leave off dying and do the thing once for all.
Butler, Samuel

12.
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

13.
Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Maugham, W. Somerset

14.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Epicurus

15.
Dying is a wild night and a new road.
Dickinson, Emily

16.
Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vestibule. The grave has a door on its inner side.
Maclaren, Alexander

17.
An evil life is a kind of death.
Ovid

18.
The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.
Mann, Thomas

19.
Death is the cure for all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas

20.
Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He comet up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
Book Of Common Prayer

21.
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Havner, Vance

22.
The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself.
Publilius Syrus

23.
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond

24.
I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes place in an impalpable grayness, with nothing underfoot, with nothing around, without spectators, without clamor, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great fear of defeat.
Conrad, Joseph

25.
Life is a series of diminishments. Each cessation of an activity either from choice or some other variety of infirmity is a death, a putting to final rest. Each loss, of friend or precious enemy, can be equated with the closing off of a room containing blocks of nerves and soon after the closing off the nerves atrophy and that part of oneself, in essence, drops away. The self is lightened, is held on earth by a gram less of mass and will.
Dowell, Coleman

26.
I warmed both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
Landor, Walter Savage

27.
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Guthrie, Arlo

28.
It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.
Bacon, Francis

29.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [1 Corinthians 15:55]
Bible

30.
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
Berra, Yogi

31.
Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.
Lawrence, D. H.

32.
Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.
Horace

33.
The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
Lois McMaster Bujold

34.
Being prepared for loss is never the same as being ready for it.
Randy K. Milholland

35.
Few cross the river of time and are able to reach non-being. Most of them run up and down only on this side of the river. But those who when they know the law follow the path of the law, they shall reach the other shore and go beyond the realm of death.
Dhammapada

36.
See in what peace a Christian can die.
Addison, Joseph

37.
It is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Fielding, Henry

38.
Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.
Luther, Martin

39.
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

40.
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel

41.
The fact that when we die we are nothing more than worm meat---I just don't think about it.
Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess

42.
A person doesn't die when he should but when he can.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

43.
Death can sneak up on you like a silent kitten, surprising you with it's touch and you have a right to act surprised. Other times death stomps in the front door, unwanted and unannounced, and makes it's noisy way to your seat on the sofa.
Hugh Elliott

44.
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

45.
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John

46.
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus

47.
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Einstein, Albert

48.
Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.
Ken, Thomas

49.
A dead atheist is someone who is all dressed up with no place to go.
Duffecy, James

50.
When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.
Aaron McGruder
