Death

Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!

- Matt Frewer

Best Quotes about Death

Your body must become familiar with its death -- in all its possible forms and degrees -- as a self-evident, imminent, and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.

Hammarskjold, Dag

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.

Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever.

Keats, John

'Tis after death that we measure men.

Hope, James Barron

When I have fears that I may cease to be, Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain.

Keats, John

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]

Bible

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

The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.

Lucan, F. L.

Nothing that is really good and God-like dies.

Arndt, Ernest Moritz

10.

Unquiet souls. In the dark fermentation of earth, in the never idle workshop of nature, in the eternal movement, yea shall find yourselves again.

Arnold, Matthew

11.

It is simply untrue that all our institutions are evil that all politicians are mere opportunists, that all aspects of university life are corrupt. Having discovered an illness, it's not terribly useful to prescribe death as a cure.

Mcgovern, George

12.

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

13.

But life is sweet, though all that makes it sweet. Lessen like sound of friends departing feet; And death is beautiful as feet of friend. Coming with welcome at our journey's end.

Lowell, James Russell

14.

It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.

Woody Allen

15.

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

16.

If we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a wandering to find home, why should we not look forward to the arrival?

Lewis, C. S.

17.

I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.

Johnson, Samuel

18.

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

19.

To awake from death is to die in peace.

Horton, Doug

20.

I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance.

Edith Sitwell

21.

The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.

Butler, Samuel

22.

Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.

Gray, Thomas

23.

It hath often been said that it is not death but dying that is terrible.

Fielding, Henry

24.

Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.

Ellis, Alice Thomas

25.

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

26.

Yet nightly pitch my moving tent, a day's march nearer home.

Montgomery, James

27.

Remember man as you walk by, as you are now so once was I, as I am now, so you will be, so prepare for death and follow me.

Epitaph

28.

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

29.

As we look deeply within, we understand our perfect balance. There is no fear of the cycle of birth, life and death. For when you stand in the present moment, you are timeless.

Rodney Yee

30.

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

Auden, W. H.

31.

Teach me to live that I may dread, the grave as little as my bed.

Ken, Thomas

32.

I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.

Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

33.

Death is the great adventure beside which moon landings and space trips pale into insignificance.

Bayly, Joseph

34.

I'm not afraid of death but I am afraid of dying. Pain can be alleviated by morphine but the pain of social ostracism cannot be taken away.

Jarman, Derek

35.

Loss and possession, Death and life are one. There falls no shadow where There shines no sun.

Belloc, Hilaire

36.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.

Leonardo da Vinci

37.

Death is delightful. Death is dawn, the waking from a weary night of fevers unto truth and light.

Miller, Joaquin

38.

Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

Epicurus

39.

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

40.

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

41.

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

Johnny Carson

42.

Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.

Franklin, Benjamin

43.

The grave's a fine and private place, but none, I think, do there embrace.

Marvell, Andrew

44.

To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.

Haracourt, Edmond

45.

Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. My advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

46.

We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.

Manilius, Marcus

47.

A human act once set in motion flows on forever to the great account. Our deathlessness is in what we do, not in what we are.

Meredith, George

48.

If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.

King Jr. Martin Luther

49.

The infant runs toward it with its eyes closed, the adult is stationary, the old man approaches it with his back turned.

Diderot, Denis

He who is obsessed by death is made guilty by it.

Canetti, Elias
