Best Quotes about Death
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.
So every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
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
When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.
Donleavy, J. P.
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
I am not the least afraid to die.
Darwin, Charles R.
It is difficult to accept death in this society because it is unfamiliar. In spite of the fact that it happens all the time, we never see it.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.
Horace
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
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Heidegger, Martin
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri
Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.
Ellis, Alice Thomas
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
Young, Edward
Along with the lazy man... the dying man is the immoral man: the former, a subject that does not work; the latter, an object that no longer even makes itself available to be worked on by others.
Certeau, Michel De
Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. [Psalms 39:4]
Bible
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men all live in a city without walls.
Epicurus
Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.
Ken, Thomas
Now, a corpse, poor thing, is an untouchable and the process of decay is, of all pieces of bad manners, the vulgarest imaginable. For a corpse is, by definition, a person absolutely devoid of savoir vivre.
Huxley, Aldous
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Einstein, Albert
I am going to concentrate on what's important in life. I'm going to strive everyday to be a kind and generous and loving person. I'm going to keep death right here, so that anytime I even think about getting angry at you or anybody else, I'll see death and I'll remember.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
Lowell, James Russell
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
Berra, Yogi
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
Oh you who have been removed from God in his solitude by the abyss of time, how can you expect to reach him without dying?
Hallaj
When you lose someone you love, you die too, and you wait around for your body to catch up.
John Scalzi
To be born free is an accident; To live free a responsibility; To die free is an obligation.
Davis, Mrs Hubbard
If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel
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
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
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: so man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. [Job 14:11-12]
Bible
Life is one of the most important causes of death.
Kocher, Gerhard
Death is feared as birth is forgotten.
Horton, Doug
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
The pomp of death is far more terrible than death itself.
Lee, Nathaniel
Is there a life after death? Can I never get some peace?
Kocher, Gerhard
'Tis after death that we measure men.
Hope, James Barron
It is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Fielding, Henry
Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearances.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
There is left us ourselves to end ourselves.
William Shakespeare
The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
Lucan, F. L.
If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
George Burns
The Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea are made of the same water. It flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of Herman and the roots of the cedars of Lebanon. the Sea of Galilee makes beauty of it, the Sea of Galilee has an outlet. It gets to give. It gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the Jordan plain. But the Dead Sea with the same water makes horror. For the Dead Sea has no outlet. It gets to keep.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
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
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen
My idea of walking into the jaws of death is marrying some woman who has lost three husbands.
Hubbard, Kin
Against self-slaughter there is a prohibition so divine that cravens my weak hand.
William Shakespeare
