Best Quotes about Death
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
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Frost, Robert
Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing. We are sentenced to die the day we're born.
Gilmore, Gary Mark
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
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George
You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.
Addison, Joseph
When I have fears that I may cease to be, Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain.
Keats, John
All that tread, the globe are but a handful to the tribes, that slumber in its bosom.
Bryant, William C.
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi
'Tis the maddest trick a man can ever play in his whole life, to let his breath sneak out of his body without any more ado, and without so much as a rap o'er the pate, or a kick of the guts; to go out like the snuff of a farthing candle, and die merely of the mulligrubs, or the sullens.
Cervantes, Miguel De
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
I don't believe in an after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.
Allen, Woody
It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.
Bacon, Francis
Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.
Luther, Martin
When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.
Aaron McGruder
He was exhaled; his great Creator drew His spirit, as the sun the morning dew.
Dryden, John
Most of us die with much of our beautiful music still in us, un-sung, un-played.
Bright, Grant M.
Die, my dear doctor! That's the last thing I shall do!
Palmerston, Lord
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Barker, Clive
So every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
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
Let us go in; the fog is rising.
Dickinson, Emily
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther
I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead.
Buffett, Jimmy
We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.
Manilius, Marcus
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
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
Johnson, Samuel
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
Death can sneak up on you like a silent kitten, surprising you with it's touch and you have a right to act surprised. Other times death stomps in the front door, unwanted and unannounced, and makes it's noisy way to your seat on the sofa.
Hugh Elliott
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.
Fromm, Erich
It hath often been said that it is not death but dying that is terrible.

Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
Life is the jailer, death the angel sent to draw the unwilling bolts and set us free.
Lowell, James Russell
Death has but one terror, that it has no tomorrow.
Hoffer, Eric
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo da Vinci
So that he seemed not to relinquish life, but to leave one home for another.
Nepos, Cornelius
Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. [Psalms 39:4]
Bible
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily lying down.
Woody Allen
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.
Edith Sitwell
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Darrow, Clarence
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.
Woody Allen
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
Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He comet up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
Book Of Common Prayer
To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
