Best Quotes about Death
In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.
Miller, Henry

Berra, Yogi

We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.
Montesquieu, Charles De
When I have fears that I may cease to be, Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain.
Keats, John
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

Hope, James Barron
Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead. When Death claims the light of my brow No flowers of life will cheer me: instead You may give me my roses now!
Healey, Thomas F.
There's a thing that keeps surprising you about stormy old friends after they die; their silence.
Becht, Ben
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
Auden, W. H.
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond
Along with the lazy man... the dying man is the immoral man: the former, a subject that does not work; the latter, an object that no longer even makes itself available to be worked on by others.
Certeau, Michel De
Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
Bronte, Emily
A physician can sometimes parry the scythe of death, but has no power over the sand in the hourglass.
Thrale, Hester i
For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Hauer, Rutger
Death is the cure for all diseases.
Browne, Sir 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.

Jonathan Swift
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
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Guthrie, Arlo
Life is a loss of time.
Kocher, Gerhard
I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
'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 is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men all live in a city without walls.

When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.
Aaron McGruder
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Havner, Vance
Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.
Cocteau, Jean
Let us go in; the fog is rising.
Dickinson, Emily

Like pilgrims to the appointed place we tend; The world's an inn, and death the journey's end.
Dryden, John
The Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea are made of the same water. It flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of Herman and the roots of the cedars of Lebanon. the Sea of Galilee makes beauty of it, the Sea of Galilee has an outlet. It gets to give. It gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the Jordan plain. But the Dead Sea with the same water makes horror. For the Dead Sea has no outlet. It gets to keep.
Fosdick, Harry Emerson
Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.
Browne, Sir Thomas
