Best Quotes about Death
To die is but to leave off dying and do the thing once for all.
Butler, Samuel
At birth man is offered only one choice --the choice of his death. But if this choice is governed by distaste for his own existence, his life will never have been more than meaningless.
Melville, Jean-Pierre
To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
Auerbach, Red
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
Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
Lincoln, Abraham
Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
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
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
Death is the enemy. I spent 10 years of my life singlemindedly studying, practicing, fighting hand to hand in close quarters to defeat the enemy, to send him back bloodied and humble and I am not going to roll over and surrender.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
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
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
Death may be the King of terrors... but Jesus is the King of kings!
Moody, Dwight L.
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
So every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.
Fromm, Erich
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
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 as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable.
Bhagavad Gita
The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.
Addison, Joseph
Death doesn't frighten me.
Diana, Princess of Wales
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
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel
Is there a life after death? Can I never get some peace?
Kocher, Gerhard
We all have to die some day, if we live long enough.
Farber, Dave
Most of us die with much of our beautiful music still in us, un-sung, un-played.
Bright, Grant M.
There is some comfort in dying surrounded by one's children.
Ann Radcliffe
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
Death is the king of this world: 'Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet
Eliot, George
I am not dying, not anymore than any of us are at any moment. We run, hopefully as fast as we can, and then everyone must stop. We can only choose how we handle the race.
Hugh Elliott
But learn that to die is a debt we must all pay.
Euripides
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus
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
It is not death that alarms me, but dying.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off.
Johnny Carson
The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.
Hesse, Hermann
It hath often been said that it is not death but dying that is terrible.
Fielding, Henry
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
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
Only the young die good.
Herford, Oliver
I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.
Horace
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Aurelius, Marcus
I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.
Cocteau, Jean
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
It is impossible that anything so natural, so necessary, and so universal as death, should ever have been designed by Providence as an evil to mankind.
Jonathan Swift
Let death be daily before your eyes, and you will never entertain any abject thought, nor too eagerly covet anything.
Epictetus
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen
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.
He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.
Charles II
