Best Quotes about Death
Personally I have no bone to pick with graveyards, I take the air there willingly, perhaps more willingly than elsewhere, when take the air I must.
Beckett, Samuel
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? [1 Corinthians 15:55]
Bible
Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Maugham, W. Somerset
It is not death that alarms me, but dying.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
It is simply untrue that all our institutions are evil that all politicians are mere opportunists, that all aspects of university life are corrupt. Having discovered an illness, it's not terribly useful to prescribe death as a cure.
Mcgovern, George
The last suit that you wear, you don't need any pockets.
Dyer, Wayne
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.
Edith Sitwell
So that he seemed not to relinquish life, but to leave one home for another.
Nepos, Cornelius
The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.
Mann, Thomas
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
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, they say, acquits us of all obligations.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
A human act once set in motion flows on forever to the great account. Our deathlessness is in what we do, not in what we are.
Meredith, George
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 gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
Lucan, F. L.
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
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Aurelius, Marcus
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.
Woody Allen
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
Nothing that is really good and God-like dies.
Arndt, Ernest Moritz
It is natural to die as to be born.
Bacon, Francis
He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.
Einstein, Albert
Life, in my estimation, is a biological misadventure that we terminate on the shoulders of six strange men whose only objective is to make a hole in one with you.
Allen, Fred A.
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
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
Eliot, George
We are but tenants and shortly the great landlord will give us notice that our lease has expired.
Jefferson, Joseph
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
Your body must become familiar with its death -- in all its possible forms and degrees -- as a self-evident, imminent, and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.
Hammarskjold, Dag
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
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
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
The killing was the best part. It was the dying I couldn't take.
Craig Volk
Let death be daily before your eyes, and you will never entertain any abject thought, nor too eagerly covet anything.
Epictetus
Death has but one terror, that it has no tomorrow.
Hoffer, Eric
A person doesn't die when he should but when he can.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
Lois McMaster Bujold
The dead look so terribly dead when they're dead.
W. Somerset Maugham
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
A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off?
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
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
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
Death is the great adventure beside which moon landings and space trips pale into insignificance.
Bayly, Joseph
The infant runs toward it with its eyes closed, the adult is stationary, the old man approaches it with his back turned.
Diderot, Denis
Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.
Aeschylus
How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool of life?
Bright, Grant M.
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Darrow, Clarence
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
