Best Quotes about Death

Let no man fear to die, we love to sleep all, and death is but the sounder sleep.

Beaumont, Francis

Death not merely ends life, it also bestows upon it a silent completeness, snatched from the hazardous flux to which all things human are subject.

Arendt, Hannah

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.

In the last analysis it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions life puts to us.

Hammarskjold, Dag

The fact that when we die we are nothing more than worm meat---I just don't think about it.

Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess

The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.

Auden, W. H.

For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off.

Hazlitt, William

10.

To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!

Barker, Clive

11.

If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

12.

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

13.

Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.

Baldwin, James

14.

If life must not be taken too seriously -- then so neither must death.

Butler, Samuel

15.

I am not the least afraid to die.

Darwin, Charles R.

16.

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

17.

To die is landing on some distant shore.

Dryden, John

18.

Nothing that is really good and God-like dies.

Arndt, Ernest Moritz

19.

We all of us waited for him to die. The family sent him a check every month, and hoped he'd get on with it quietly, without too much vulgar fuss.

Osborne, John

20.

A few can touch the magic string, and noisy fame is proud to win them: Alas for those that never sing, but die with all their music in them!

Holmes, Oliver Wendell

21.

Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.

Aeschylus

22.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. [Psalm 23:4]
