Best Quotes about Death
Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
But there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
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.
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Gide, Andre
Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun.
Belloc, Hilaire
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Camus, Albert
Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.
Beaumont, Francis
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
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 a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Byron, Lord
In the last analysis it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions life puts to us.
Hammarskjold, Dag
To stop sinning suddenly.
Hubbard, Elbert
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II
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
I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.
Franklin, Benjamin
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.
Franklin, Benjamin
The world is the mirror of myself dying.
Miller, Henry
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
Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.
Luther, Martin
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
Know one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.
Plato
We are all dead men on leave.
Levine, Eugene
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.
Dowell, Coleman
Death is delightful. Death is dawn, the waking from a weary night of fevers unto truth and light.
Miller, Joaquin
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen
To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
Auerbach, Red
Is it sin to rush into the secret house of death, ere death dare come to us?
William Shakespeare
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond
The last suit that you wear, you don't need any pockets.
Dyer, Wayne
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato
There's a thing that keeps surprising you about stormy old friends after they die; their silence.
Becht, Ben
If only I could understand the reason for my crying. If only I could stop this fear of dreaming that I'm dying.
Palmer, Laura
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
Death is feared as birth is forgotten.
Horton, Doug
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
Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable.
Bhagavad Gita
Men fear death, as if unquestionably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the greatest good.
Mitford, William
Death not merely ends life, it also bestows upon it a silent completeness, snatched from the hazardous flux to which all things human are subject.
Arendt, Hannah
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep; and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown; all's fish that comes to his net; he throws at all, and sweeps stakes; he's no mower that takes a nap at noon-day, but drives on, fair weather or foul, and cuts down the green grass as well as the ripe corn: he's neither squeamish nor queesy-stomach d, for he swallows without chewing, and crams down all things into his ungracious maw; and you can see no belly he has, he has a confounded dropsy, and thirsts after men's lives, which he gurgles down like mother's milk.
Cervantes, Miguel De
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
Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!
Matt Frewer
The dead look so terribly dead when they're dead.
W. Somerset Maugham
