Best Quotes about Death
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond
Some dying men are the most tyrannical; and certainly, since they will shortly trouble us so little for evermore, the poor fellows ought to be indulged.
Melville, Herman
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
For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
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 cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
Lois McMaster Bujold
The infant runs toward it with its eyes closed, the adult is stationary, the old man approaches it with his back turned.
Diderot, Denis
If life must not be taken too seriously -- then so neither must death.
Butler, Samuel
The grave's a fine and private place, but none, I think, do there embrace.
Marvell, Andrew
I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes place in an impalpable grayness, with nothing underfoot, with nothing around, without spectators, without clamor, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great fear of defeat.
Conrad, Joseph
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
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
Macarthur, Douglas
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
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
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [1 Corinthians 15:55]
Bible
Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.
Franklin, Benjamin
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen
Death is the cure for all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John
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
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
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
It is simply untrue that all our institutions are evil that all politicians are mere opportunists, that all aspects of university life are corrupt. Having discovered an illness, it's not terribly useful to prescribe death as a cure.
Mcgovern, George
Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Maugham, W. Somerset
A physician can sometimes parry the scythe of death, but has no power over the sand in the hourglass.
Thrale, Hester i
Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing. We are sentenced to die the day we're born.
Gilmore, Gary Mark
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
Milton, John
The fear of death is worse than death.
Burton, Robert
'Tis after death that we measure men.
Hope, James Barron
Being prepared for loss is never the same as being ready for it.
Randy K. Milholland
Against self-slaughter there is a prohibition so divine that cravens my weak hand.
William Shakespeare
Be open to your dreams, people. Embrace that distant shore. Because our mortal journey is over all too soon.
David Assael
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
A useless life is an early death.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Gide, Andre
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
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 woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Frost, Robert
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
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.
Herodotus
My idea of walking into the jaws of death is marrying some woman who has lost three husbands.
Hubbard, Kin
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
Gray, Thomas
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead.
Buffett, Jimmy
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
Berra, Yogi
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
A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.
Alsop, Steward
