Best Quotes about Death
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
Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life.
Plutarch
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Greene, Graham

There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.
Camus, Albert
'Tis the maddest trick a man can ever play in his whole life, to let his breath sneak out of his body without any more ado, and without so much as a rap o'er the pate, or a kick of the guts; to go out like the snuff of a farthing candle, and die merely of the mulligrubs, or the sullens.
Cervantes, Miguel De
Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
Dickinson, Emily
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
Now, a corpse, poor thing, is an untouchable and the process of decay is, of all pieces of bad manners, the vulgarest imaginable. For a corpse is, by definition, a person absolutely devoid of savoir vivre.
Huxley, Aldous

Byron, Lord

But life is sweet, though all that makes it sweet. Lessen like sound of friends departing feet; And death is beautiful as feet of friend. Coming with welcome at our journey's end.
Lowell, James Russell
Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
Lowell, James Russell
Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever.
Keats, John
The fear of death is worse than death.
Burton, Robert
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
George Burns
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.
Edith Sitwell
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
My idea of walking into the jaws of death is marrying some woman who has lost three husbands.
Hubbard, Kin
Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.

Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
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?
