Death

For the sword outwears its sheath, and the soul wears out the breast. And the heart must pause to breathe, and love itself have rest.

- Byron, Lord

Best Quotes about Death

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

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

I never think he is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this.

Hamilton, Hugh

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.

Leonardo da Vinci

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

A man's death makes everything certain about him. Of course, secrets may die with him. And of course, a hundred years later somebody looking through some papers may discover a fact which throws a totally different light on his life and of which all the people who attended his funeral were ignorant. Death changes the facts qualitatively but not quantitatively. One does not know more facts about a man because he is dead. But what one already knows hardens and becomes definite. We cannot hope for ambiguities to be clarified, we cannot hope for further change, we cannot hope for more. We are now the protagonists and we have to make up our minds.

Berger, John

Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.

Maugham, W. Somerset

I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.

Johnson, Samuel

As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.

Publilius Syrus

Epicurus

13.

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

14.

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

Ken, Thomas

15.

The killing was the best part. It was the dying I couldn't take.

Craig Volk

16.

Death, they say, acquits us of all obligations.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

17.

The fear of death is worse than death.

Burton, Robert

18.

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

Donne, John

19.

Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.

20.

'Tis all a Checker-board of Nights and days where Destiny with Men for Pieces plays: Hither and thither moves, and mates and slays, and one by one back in the Closet lays.

We need not fear life, because God is the Ruler of all and we need not fear death, because He shares immortality with us.

Landers, Ann

25.

All that tread, the globe are but a handful to the tribes, that slumber in its bosom.

Bryant, William C.

26.

What did it matter where you lay once you were dead? In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were the same as wind and air to you.

Chandler, Raymond

27.

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

28.

I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

Petronius

30.

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

31.
