Best Quotes about Death
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Camus, Albert
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
Donne, John
It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.
Woody Allen
It hath often been said that it is not death but dying that is terrible.
Fielding, Henry
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
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
Like pilgrims to the appointed place we tend; The world's an inn, and death the journey's end.
Dryden, John
The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself.
Publilius Syrus
Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond
Death is the great adventure beside which moon landings and space trips pale into insignificance.
Bayly, Joseph
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
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
When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity.
Eliot, George
It's no accident that the church and the graveyard stand side by side. The city of the dead sleeps encircled by the city of the living.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II
To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
Auerbach, Red
Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.
Gabirol, Ibn
We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
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.
If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.
Samuel Goldwyn
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.
As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus
There is no death. the stars go down to rise upon some other shore. And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown, they shine for ever more.
Mccreery, John Luckey
Die, my dear doctor! That's the last thing I shall do!
Palmerston, Lord
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.
We all have to die some day, if we live long enough.
Farber, Dave
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.
Aaron McGruder
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
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
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
Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.
Beaumont, Francis
dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call.
Plath, Sylvia
So that he seemed not to relinquish life, but to leave one home for another.
Nepos, Cornelius
Nothing that is really good and God-like dies.
Arndt, Ernest Moritz
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Havner, Vance
We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.
Montesquieu, Charles De
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [1 Timothy 6:7]
Bible
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Frost, Robert
But there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
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
Dying is a wild night and a new road.
Dickinson, Emily
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
And what the dead had no speech for, when living, they can tell you, being dead: the communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
Eliot, T. S.
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
'Tis all a Checker-board of Nights and days where Destiny with Men for Pieces plays: Hither and thither moves, and mates and slays, and one by one back in the Closet lays.
Khayyam, Omar
The world is the mirror of myself dying.
Miller, Henry
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus
I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwreck, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotency might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.
Donne, John
