Best Quotes about Death
It's sad when our daddies die. Makes us one less person inside.
Pamela Ribon
Along with the lazy man... the dying man is the immoral man: the former, a subject that does not work; the latter, an object that no longer even makes itself available to be worked on by others.
Certeau, Michel De
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.
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
For certain is death for the born And certain is birth for the dead; Therefore over the inevitable Thou shouldst not grieve.
Bhagavad Gita
If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
George Burns
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
Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred --it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the dropsy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust --the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness.
Hazlitt, William
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
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
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
Death can sneak up on you like a silent kitten, surprising you with it's touch and you have a right to act surprised. Other times death stomps in the front door, unwanted and unannounced, and makes it's noisy way to your seat on the sofa.
Hugh Elliott
'Tis after death that we measure men.
Hope, James Barron
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. [Matthew 10:28]
Bible
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. [1 Corinthians 15:26]
Bible
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.
Woody Allen
We all have to die some day, if we live long enough.
Farber, Dave
Well, there's a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other.
Cervantes, Miguel De
The dead look so terribly dead when they're dead.
W. Somerset Maugham
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Guthrie, Arlo
See in what peace a Christian can die.
Addison, Joseph
I'm not afraid of death but I am afraid of dying. Pain can be alleviated by morphine but the pain of social ostracism cannot be taken away.
Jarman, Derek
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II
Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console.
Colton, Charles Caleb
To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.
Fromm, Erich
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
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
I look upon life as a gift from God. I did nothing to earn it. Now that the time is coming to give it back, I have no right to complain.
Cary, Joyce
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
Young, Edward
How gladly would I meet mortality, my sentence, and be earth in sensible! how glad would lay me down, as in my mother's lap! There I should rest, and sleep secure.
Milton, John
Being prepared for loss is never the same as being ready for it.
Randy K. Milholland
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
Eliot, George
A dead atheist is someone who is all dressed up with no place to go.
Duffecy, James
The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.
Mann, Thomas
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
It is not death that alarms me, but dying.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep; and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown; all's fish that comes to his net; he throws at all, and sweeps stakes; he's no mower that takes a nap at noon-day, but drives on, fair weather or foul, and cuts down the green grass as well as the ripe corn: he's neither squeamish nor queesy-stomach d, for he swallows without chewing, and crams down all things into his ungracious maw; and you can see no belly he has, he has a confounded dropsy, and thirsts after men's lives, which he gurgles down like mother's milk.
Cervantes, Miguel De
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [1 Timothy 6:7]
Bible
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
We all of us waited for him to die. The family sent him a check every month, and hoped he'd get on with it quietly, without too much vulgar fuss.
Osborne, John
Death does determine life. Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous. However, to be sincere I must add that for me death is important only if it is not justified and rationalized by reason. For me death is the maximum of epicness and death.
Pasolini, Pier Paolo
Is there a life after death? Can I never get some peace?
Kocher, Gerhard
You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
Lucan, F. L.
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg
There is some comfort in dying surrounded by one's children.
Ann Radcliffe
