Best Quotes about Death
There is nothing which at once affects a man so much and so little as his own death.
Butler, Samuel
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Havner, Vance
Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.
Baldwin, James
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.
Mann, Thomas
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
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.
Da Vinci, Leonardo
Remember man as you walk by, as you are now so once was I, as I am now, so you will be, so prepare for death and follow me.
Epitaph
Life is one of the most important causes of death.
Kocher, Gerhard
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
Milton, John
Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
Dickinson, Emily
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel
The report of my death was an exaggeration.
Mark Twain
Only the young die good.
Herford, Oliver
Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.
Herodotus
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
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
The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
Lois McMaster Bujold
I am going to concentrate on what's important in life. I'm going to strive everyday to be a kind and generous and loving person. I'm going to keep death right here, so that anytime I even think about getting angry at you or anybody else, I'll see death and I'll remember.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.
Franklin, Benjamin
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.
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Allen, Woody
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
Hazlitt, William
I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead.
Buffett, Jimmy
Know one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good.
Plato
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
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
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool of life?
Bright, Grant M.
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!
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor
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
I suppose that I shall have to die beyond my means.
Oscar Wilde
Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It's a palliative. The remedy is death.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Guthrie, Arlo
He that lives to forever, never fears dying.
Penn, William
There is left us ourselves to end ourselves.
William Shakespeare
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
I want death to find me planting my cabbage
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: so man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. [Job 14:11-12]
Bible
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
To awake from death is to die in peace.
Horton, Doug
Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.
Merton, Thomas
It is hard to have patience with people who say There is no death or Death doesn't matter. There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.
Lewis, C. S.
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
As for death one gets used to it, even if it's only other people's death you get used to.
Bagnold, Enid
