Motivational Quotes
Death
Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.
Best Quotes about Death
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
To stop sinning suddenly.
Hubbard, Elbert
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
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 has but one terror, that it has no tomorrow.
Hoffer, Eric
Death is delightful. Death is dawn, the waking from a weary night of fevers unto truth and light.
Miller, Joaquin
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
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II
Life is a series of diminishments. Each cessation of an activity either from choice or some other variety of infirmity is a death, a putting to final rest. Each loss, of friend or precious enemy, can be equated with the closing off of a room containing blocks of nerves and soon after the closing off the nerves atrophy and that part of oneself, in essence, drops away. The self is lightened, is held on earth by a gram less of mass and will.
Dowell, Coleman
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
Hazlitt, William
Death, they say, acquits us of all obligations.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.
Donleavy, J. P.
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
Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Maugham, W. Somerset
If we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a wandering to find home, why should we not look forward to the arrival?
Lewis, C. S.
A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.
Huxley, Aldous
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus
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
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
Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.
Ken, Thomas
I hate funerals and would not attend my own if it could be avoided, but it is well for every man to stop once in a while to think of what sort of a collection of mourners he is training for his final event.
Morris, Robert T.
Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.
Aeschylus
Death is but a passage. It is not a house, it is only a vestibule. The grave has a door on its inner side.
Maclaren, Alexander
Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
Dying is a wild night and a new road.
Dickinson, Emily
Now, a corpse, poor thing, is an untouchable and the process of decay is, of all pieces of bad manners, the vulgarest imaginable. For a corpse is, by definition, a person absolutely devoid of savoir vivre.
Huxley, Aldous
To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
Auerbach, Red
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
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi
Our dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of life, not death -- of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of Spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our trumpets, sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
Auden, W. H.
The dead look so terribly dead when they're dead.
W. Somerset Maugham
Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
In the last analysis it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions life puts to us.
Hammarskjold, Dag
Death is the great adventure beside which moon landings and space trips pale into insignificance.
Bayly, Joseph
Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.
Gurdjieff, George
Living is death; dying is life. We are not what we appear to be. On this side of the grave we are exiles, on that citizens; on this side orphans, on that children;
Beecher, Henry Ward
For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off.
Johnny Carson
Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.
Beaumont, Francis
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
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
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
Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
Lowell, James Russell
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
Young, Edward
We are all dead men on leave.
Levine, Eugene
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John
Death always waits. The door of the hearse is never closed.
Bayly, Joseph
When one by one our ties are torn, and friend from friend is snatched forlorn; When man is left alone to mourn, oh! then how sweet it is to die!
Barbauld, Anna Letitia
A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.
Gurdjieff, George
