Death

I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth and yet last the longest in the dust.
- Byron, Lord
Death Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Death

1.
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

2.
As for death one gets used to it, even if it's only other people's death you get used to.
Bagnold, Enid

3.
Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.
Herodotus

4.
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

5.
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II

6.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily as lying down.
Allen, Woody

7.
Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.
Aeschylus

8.
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

9.
Madam, Life's a piece in bloom death goes dogging everywhere: She's the tenant of the room he's the ruffian on the stair.
Henley, William Ernest

10.
There's a strange sort of quiet when you're dying. It's as if you're in a glass room, and the walls keep getting thicker and thicker.
Gabrielle Zevin

11.
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men all live in a city without walls.
Epicurus

12.
Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?
Huxley, Aldous

13.
We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.
Jefferson, Joseph

14.
The killing was the best part. It was the dying I couldn't take.
Craig Volk

15.
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond

16.
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg

17.
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci

18.
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John

19.
The report of my death was an exaggeration.
Mark Twain

20.
So that he seemed not to relinquish life, but to leave one home for another.
Nepos, Cornelius

21.
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Darrow, Clarence

22.
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

23.
Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!
Matt Frewer

24.
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
Hazlitt, William

25.
We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.
Montesquieu, Charles De

26.
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

27.
O how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living.
Philip II

28.
He has gone over to the majority.
Petronius

29.
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.

30.
We are all dead men on leave.
Levine, Eugene

31.
Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.
Browne, Sir Thomas

32.
Death is feared as birth is forgotten.
Horton, Doug

33.
The infant runs toward it with its eyes closed, the adult is stationary, the old man approaches it with his back turned.
Diderot, Denis

34.
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

35.
Most of us die with much of our beautiful music still in us, un-sung, un-played.
Bright, Grant M.

36.
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
Macarthur, Douglas

37.
I don't believe in an after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
Allen, Woody

Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
Lowell, James Russell

41.
You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

42.
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

43.
The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
Lucan, F. L.

44.
Between my head and my hand, there is always the face of death.
Picabia, Francis

45.
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

Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun.

Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Byron, Lord

To be born free is an accident; To live free a responsibility; To die free is an obligation.
Davis, Mrs Hubbard
