Best Quotes about Death
All that tread, the globe are but a handful to the tribes, that slumber in its bosom.
Bryant, William C.
We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.
Camus, Albert
Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.
Herodotus
Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.
Merton, Thomas
Death is the cure for all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off.
Carson, Johnny
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
Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life.
Bertolt Brecht
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
Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!
Matt Frewer
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Guthrie, Arlo
The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.
Foster, John W.
At death we cross from one territory to another, but we'll have no trouble with visas. Our representative is already there, preparing for our arrival. As citizens of heaven, our entrance is incontestable.
Lutzer, Erwin W.
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond
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
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
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
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
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
Hazlitt, William
We all have to die some day, if we live long enough.
Farber, Dave
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
The essential part of our being can only survive if the transient part dissolves. Death is a condition of survival. That which has been gained must be eternalized, and can only be eternalized by being transmuted, by passing through death they must return
Khan, Pir Vilayat
We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.
Montesquieu, Charles De
Death is a Dialogue between, the Spirit and the Dust.
Dickinson, Emily
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
I don't believe in an after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
Allen, Woody
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
The Father is the Giver of Life; but the Mother is the Giver of Death, because her womb is the gate of ingress to matter, and through her life is ensouled to form, and no form can be either infinite or eternal. Death is implicit in birth.
Kabbalah
He would make a lovely corpse.
Dickens, Charles
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]
Bible
I'd rather get my brains blown out in the wild than wait in terror at the slaughterhouse.
Craig Volk
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus
The pomp of death is far more terrible than death itself.
Lee, Nathaniel
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
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
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.
Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.
Macarthur, Douglas
Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.
Lawrence, D. H.
The Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea are made of the same water. It flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of Herman and the roots of the cedars of Lebanon. the Sea of Galilee makes beauty of it, the Sea of Galilee has an outlet. It gets to give. It gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the Jordan plain. But the Dead Sea with the same water makes horror. For the Dead Sea has no outlet. It gets to keep.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.
Aaron McGruder
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
He that lives to forever, never fears dying.
Penn, William
I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
He who is obsessed by death is made guilty by it.
Canetti, Elias
We need not fear life, because God is the Ruler of all and we need not fear death, because He shares immortality with us.
Landers, Ann
When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity.
Eliot, George
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
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, a day's march nearer home.
Montgomery, James
The difficulty about all this dying, is that you can't tell a fellow anything about it, so where does the fun come in?
James, Alice
