Motivational Quotes
Death
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.
Best Quotes about Death
There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.
Mackay, Charles
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Heidegger, Martin
Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.
Gabirol, Ibn
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 impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.
Woody Allen
Against self-slaughter there is a prohibition so divine that cravens my weak hand.
William Shakespeare
I am not dying, not anymore than any of us are at any moment. We run, hopefully as fast as we can, and then everyone must stop. We can only choose how we handle the race.
Hugh Elliott
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.
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
I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.
Horace
For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Dying is a wild night and a new road.
Dickinson, Emily
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Hauer, Rutger
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
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen
Between my head and my hand, there is always the face of death.
Picabia, Francis
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
Gray, Thomas
To die is but to leave off dying and do the thing once for all.
Butler, Samuel
I'm trying to die correctly, but it's very difficult, you know.
Durrell, Lawrence
The killing was the best part. It was the dying I couldn't take.
Craig Volk
When you lose someone you love, you die too, and you wait around for your body to catch up.
John Scalzi
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
I hope the leaving is joyful; and I hope never to return.
Frida Kahlo
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II
It's sad when our daddies die. Makes us one less person inside.
Pamela Ribon
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
Hazlitt, William
I never think he is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this.
Hamilton, Hugh
It is natural to die as to be born.
Bacon, Francis
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
Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.
Franklin, Benjamin
Life is one of the most important causes of death.
Kocher, Gerhard
To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.
Fromm, Erich
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Greene, Graham
When we die, no one remembers us for what we weighed. Our weight isn't etched into our headstones.
Stephanie Klein
Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
Dickinson, Emily
To be born free is an accident; To live free a responsibility; To die free is an obligation.
Davis, Mrs Hubbard
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
Auden, W. H.
It's no accident that the church and the graveyard stand side by side. The city of the dead sleeps encircled by the city of the living.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
It is not death, but dying, which is terrible.
Fielding, Henry
I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth and yet last the longest in the dust.
Byron, Lord
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. [1 Corinthians 15:26]
Bible
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
'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
'Tis after death that we measure men.
Hope, James Barron
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
The fear of death is worse than death.
Burton, Robert
For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off.
Johnny Carson
Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!
Matt Frewer
In the last analysis it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions life puts to us.
Hammarskjold, Dag
