Death

When you lose someone you love, you die too, and you wait around for your body to catch up.
- John Scalzi
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.
Manilius, Marcus

2.
The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.
Foster, John W.

3.
Death is a displaced name for a linguistic predicament.
Man, Paul De

4.
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?
Hallaj

5.
For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

6.
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

7.
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

8.
The fact that when we die we are nothing more than worm meat---I just don't think about it.
Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess

9.
Dying is a wild night and a new road.
Dickinson, Emily

10.
How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool of life?
Bright, Grant M.

11.
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther

12.
Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.
Aeschylus

13.
To awake from death is to die in peace.
Horton, Doug

14.
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

15.
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri

16.
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
Donne, John

17.
If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.
Samuel Goldwyn

18.
So every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare

19.
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Heidegger, Martin

20.
I really wanted to die at certain periods in my life. Death was like love, a romantic escape. I took pills because I didn't want to throw myself off my balcony and know people would photograph me lying dead below.
Bardot, Brigitte

21.
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

22.
Death not merely ends life, it also bestows upon it a silent completeness, snatched from the hazardous flux to which all things human are subject.
Arendt, Hannah

23.
When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity.
Eliot, George

24.
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.
Edith Sitwell

25.
A man's death makes everything certain about him. Of course, secrets may die with him. And of course, a hundred years later somebody looking through some papers may discover a fact which throws a totally different light on his life and of which all the people who attended his funeral were ignorant. Death changes the facts qualitatively but not quantitatively. One does not know more facts about a man because he is dead. But what one already knows hardens and becomes definite. We cannot hope for ambiguities to be clarified, we cannot hope for further change, we cannot hope for more. We are now the protagonists and we have to make up our minds.
Berger, John

26.
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho

27.
Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.
Ken, Thomas

28.
For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off.
Johnny Carson

29.
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

30.
A dead atheist is someone who is all dressed up with no place to go.
Duffecy, James

31.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. [Psalm 23:4]
Bible

32.
We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.
Chopra, Deepak

33.
Let death be daily before your eyes, and you will never entertain any abject thought, nor too eagerly covet anything.
Epictetus

34.
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

35.
If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

36.
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

37.
The killing was the best part. It was the dying I couldn't take.
Craig Volk

38.
Unquiet souls. In the dark fermentation of earth, in the never idle workshop of nature, in the eternal movement, yea shall find yourselves again.
Arnold, Matthew

39.
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

40.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
Steve Jobs

41.
As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no.
Donne, John

42.
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus

43.
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Aurelius, Marcus

44.
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
Eliot, George

45.
If you don't think your life is worth more than someone else's, sign your donor card and kill yourself now.
Matthew V. Lewis

46.
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

47.
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

48.
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, a day's march nearer home.
Montgomery, James

49.
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

50.
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Einstein, Albert
