Death

A few can touch the magic string, and noisy fame is proud to win them: Alas for those that never sing, but die with all their music in them!
- Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
Death is a displaced name for a linguistic predicament.
Man, Paul De

2.
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

3.
Our dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of life, not death -- of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of Spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our trumpets, sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

4.
The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.
Foster, John W.

5.
Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing. We are sentenced to die the day we're born.
Gilmore, Gary Mark

6.
Since the death instinct exists in the heart of everything that lives, since we suffer from trying to repress it, since everything that lives longs for rest, let us unfasten the ties that bind us to life, let us cultivate our death wish, let us develop it, water it like a plant, let it grow unhindered. Suffering and fear are born from the repression of the death wish.
Ionesco, Eugene

7.
Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth

8.
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther

9.
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

10.
A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.
Gurdjieff, George

11.
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas

12.
At birth man is offered only one choice --the choice of his death. But if this choice is governed by distaste for his own existence, his life will never have been more than meaningless.
Melville, Jean-Pierre

13.
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

14.
Living is death; dying is life. We are not what we appear to be. On this side of the grave we are exiles, on that citizens; on this side orphans, on that children;
Beecher, Henry Ward

15.
'Tis after death that we measure men.
Hope, James Barron

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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.

19.
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

20.
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
Gray, Thomas

21.
No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness.
Broch, Hermann

22.
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Havner, Vance

23.
If we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a wandering to find home, why should we not look forward to the arrival?
Lewis, C. S.

24.
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci

25.
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.

26.
I am ready to meet my maker, but whether my maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
Churchill, Winston

27.
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

28.
It's sad when our daddies die. Makes us one less person inside.
Pamela Ribon

29.
He that lives to forever, never fears dying.
Penn, William

30.
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men all live in a city without walls.
Epicurus

31.
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

32.
The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
Lois McMaster Bujold

33.
I don't believe in an after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
Allen, Woody

34.
Death always waits. The door of the hearse is never closed.
Bayly, Joseph

35.
Being prepared for loss is never the same as being ready for it.
Randy K. Milholland

36.
To die is landing on some distant shore.
Dryden, John

37.
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

38.
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi

39.
Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. [Psalms 39:4]
Bible

40.
Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go.
La Fontaine, Jean De

41.
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

42.
Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.
Browne, Sir Thomas

43.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily as lying down.
Allen, Woody

44.
Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearances.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

45.
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Aurelius, Marcus

46.
He was exhaled; his great Creator drew His spirit, as the sun the morning dew.
Dryden, John

47.
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

48.
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato

49.
We do not die because we have to die; we die because one day, and not so long ago, our consciousness was forced to deem it necessary.
Antonin Artaud

50.
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
