Motivational Quotes
Death
Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.
Best Quotes about Death
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
It's no accident that the church and the graveyard stand side by side. The city of the dead sleeps encircled by the city of the living.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.

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
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Camus, Albert
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.

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

Edith Sitwell
As for death one gets used to it, even if it's only other people's death you get used to.
Bagnold, Enid
Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.
Aurelius, Marcus
As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus
A person doesn't die when he should but when he can.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
It's sad when our daddies die. Makes us one less person inside.
Pamela Ribon
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!

The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Frost, Robert
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond
The infant runs toward it with its eyes closed, the adult is stationary, the old man approaches it with his back turned.

Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
Death always waits. The door of the hearse is never closed.
Bayly, Joseph
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
'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
If only I could understand the reason for my crying. If only I could stop this fear of dreaming that I'm dying.

Is it sin to rush into the secret house of death, ere death dare come to us?
William Shakespeare
I warmed both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
Landor, Walter Savage
A useless life is an early death.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
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
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
