Best Quotes about Death
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
Auden, W. H.
To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.
Fromm, Erich
When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.
Donleavy, J. P.
A person doesn't die when he should but when he can.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
'Tis after death that we measure men.
Hope, James Barron
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Hermes, Georg
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
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Barker, Clive
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
A physician can sometimes parry the scythe of death, but has no power over the sand in the hourglass.
Thrale, Hester i
If life must not be taken too seriously -- then so neither must death.
Butler, Samuel
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
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
Death may be the King of terrors... but Jesus is the King of kings!
Moody, Dwight L.
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Darrow, Clarence
Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?
Plato
I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.
Horace
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
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
'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
It's sad when our daddies die. Makes us one less person inside.
Pamela Ribon
A useless life is an early death.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
To stop sinning suddenly.
Hubbard, Elbert
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
I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.
Edith Sitwell
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
If only I could understand the reason for my crying. If only I could stop this fear of dreaming that I'm dying.
Palmer, Laura
Oh you who have been removed from God in his solitude by the abyss of time, how can you expect to reach him without dying?
Hallaj
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
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. [Psalms 116:15]
Bible
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther
It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.
Woody Allen
But learn that to die is a debt we must all pay.
Euripides
A man's death makes everything certain about him. Of course, secrets may die with him. And of course, a hundred years later somebody looking through some papers may discover a fact which throws a totally different light on his life and of which all the people who attended his funeral were ignorant. Death changes the facts qualitatively but not quantitatively. One does not know more facts about a man because he is dead. But what one already knows hardens and becomes definite. We cannot hope for ambiguities to be clarified, we cannot hope for further change, we cannot hope for more. We are now the protagonists and we have to make up our minds.
Berger, John
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
Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Maugham, W. Somerset
I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.
Franklin, Benjamin
So every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
These have not the hope to die.
Dante Alighieri
The infant runs toward it with its eyes closed, the adult is stationary, the old man approaches it with his back turned.
Diderot, Denis
The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself.
Publilius Syrus
We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.
Greene, Graham
As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.
Publilius Syrus
Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
Dickinson, Emily
For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off.
Johnny Carson
There's a strange sort of quiet when you're dying. It's as if you're in a glass room, and the walls keep getting thicker and thicker.
Gabrielle Zevin
There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.
Mackay, Charles
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
A dead atheist is someone who is all dressed up with no place to go.
Duffecy, James
