Motivational Quotes
Death
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

Best Quotes about Death
We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.
Manilius, Marcus
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
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
Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.
Franklin, Benjamin
One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
Death is a displaced name for a linguistic predicament.
Man, Paul De
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
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
For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off.
Carson, Johnny
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
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Camus, Albert
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
We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
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
Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.
Merton, Thomas
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Byron, Lord
I warmed both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
Landor, Walter Savage
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
Eliot, George
An orphan's curse would drag to hell, a spirit from on high; but oh! more horrible than that, is a curse in a dead man's eye!
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor
It is not death that alarms me, but dying.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.
Montesquieu, Charles De
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
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Havner, Vance
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
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
To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.
Fromm, Erich
I am not the least afraid to die.
Darwin, Charles R.
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
Auden, W. H.
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
The dead look so terribly dead when they're dead.
W. Somerset Maugham
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
Milton, John
We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.
Jefferson, Joseph
Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!
Matt Frewer
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
Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
Dickinson, Emily
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel
A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off?
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
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
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Epicurus
For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Between my head and my hand, there is always the face of death.
Picabia, Francis
There is some comfort in dying surrounded by one's children.
Ann Radcliffe
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. [Matthew 10:28]
Bible
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Camus, Albert
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]
Bible
Life is a loss of time.
Kocher, Gerhard
There was something awesome in the thought of the solitary mortal standing by the open window and summoning in from the gloom outside the spirits of the nether world.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
