Death

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
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.
Woody Allen

2.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]
Bible

3.
Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead. When Death claims the light of my brow No flowers of life will cheer me: instead You may give me my roses now!
Healey, Thomas F.

4.
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
Milton, John

5.
The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.
Mann, Thomas

6.
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
Hazlitt, William

7.
There is some comfort in dying surrounded by one's children.
Ann Radcliffe

8.
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri

9.
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

10.
And what the dead had no speech for, when living, they can tell you, being dead: the communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
Eliot, T. S.

11.
Life is one of the most important causes of death.
Kocher, Gerhard

12.
Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.
Gurdjieff, George

13.
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

14.
The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.
Addison, Joseph

15.
We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel

16.
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

17.
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

18.
As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless.
Rodney Yee

19.
It hath often been said that it is not death but dying that is terrible.
Fielding, Henry

20.
We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.
Jefferson, Joseph

21.
It's sad when our daddies die. Makes us one less person inside.
Pamela Ribon

22.
'Tis after death that we measure men.
Hope, James Barron

23.
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Byron, Lord

24.
The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.
Hesse, Hermann

25.
I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.
Horace

26.
Be open to your dreams, people. Embrace that distant shore. Because our mortal journey is over all too soon.
David Assael

27.
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

28.
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel

29.
Is it sin to rush into the secret house of death, ere death dare come to us?
William Shakespeare

30.
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

31.
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Aurelius, Marcus

32.
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

33.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Epicurus

34.
'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.
Khayyam, Omar

35.
I never think he is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this.
Hamilton, Hugh

36.
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

37.
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.

38.
I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead.
Buffett, Jimmy

39.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
Steve Jobs

40.
A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.
Huxley, Aldous

41.
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Greene, Graham

42.
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
Young, Edward

43.
There is left us ourselves to end ourselves.
William Shakespeare

44.
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

45.
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

46.
We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.
Montesquieu, Charles De

47.
Death is a displaced name for a linguistic predicament.
Man, Paul De

48.
The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself.
Publilius Syrus

49.
The killing was the best part. It was the dying I couldn't take.
Craig Volk

50.
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
Auden, W. H.
