Best Quotes about Death
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.
Edith Sitwell
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Frost, Robert
I hate funerals and would not attend my own if it could be avoided, but it is well for every man to stop once in a while to think of what sort of a collection of mourners he is training for his final event.
Morris, Robert T.
Death is not the worst; rather, in vain To wish for death, and not to compass it.
Sophocles
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Barker, Clive
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. [1 Corinthians 15:26]
Bible
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
Milton, John
Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.
Baldwin, James
We all have to die some day, if we live long enough.
Farber, Dave
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
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
Donne, John
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
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.
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no.
Donne, John
It is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Fielding, Henry
But life is sweet, though all that makes it sweet. Lessen like sound of friends departing feet; And death is beautiful as feet of friend. Coming with welcome at our journey's end.
Lowell, James Russell
Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?
Huxley, Aldous
Is it sin to rush into the secret house of death, ere death dare come to us?
William Shakespeare
Death is the enemy. I spent 10 years of my life singlemindedly studying, practicing, fighting hand to hand in close quarters to defeat the enemy, to send him back bloodied and humble and I am not going to roll over and surrender.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
O how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living.
Philip II
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
Your body must become familiar with its death -- in all its possible forms and degrees -- as a self-evident, imminent, and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.
Hammarskjold, Dag
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.
He whom the Gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.
Ken, Thomas
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
Life is a loss of time.
Kocher, Gerhard
If even dying is to be made a social function, then, grant me the favor of sneaking out on tiptoe without disturbing the party.
Hammarskjold, Dag
Remember man as you walk by, as you are now so once was I, as I am now, so you will be, so prepare for death and follow me.
Epitaph
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho
That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Personally I have no bone to pick with graveyards, I take the air there willingly, perhaps more willingly than elsewhere, when take the air I must.
Beckett, Samuel
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
Gray, Thomas
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
Death does determine life. Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous. However, to be sincere I must add that for me death is important only if it is not justified and rationalized by reason. For me death is the maximum of epicness and death.
Pasolini, Pier Paolo
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Death is delightful. Death is dawn, the waking from a weary night of fevers unto truth and light.
Miller, Joaquin
All that tread, the globe are but a handful to the tribes, that slumber in its bosom.
Bryant, William C.
To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
Auerbach, Red
The dead look so terribly dead when they're dead.
W. Somerset Maugham
Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
Dickinson, Emily
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel
Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
Lowell, James Russell
An evil life is a kind of death.
Ovid
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
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri
We are all dead men on leave.
Levine, Eugene
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther
A useless life is an early death.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
