Best Quotes about Death
We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.
Manilius, Marcus
I suppose that I shall have to die beyond my means.
Oscar Wilde
I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth and yet last the longest in the dust.
Byron, Lord
It is hard to have patience with people who say There is no death or Death doesn't matter. There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.
Lewis, C. S.
The killing was the best part. It was the dying I couldn't take.
Craig Volk
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. [Psalms 116:15]
Bible
Death has but one terror, that it has no tomorrow.
Hoffer, Eric
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
Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
'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
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
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
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
Fear of death has been the greatest ally of tyranny past and present.
Hook, Sydney
A physician can sometimes parry the scythe of death, but has no power over the sand in the hourglass.
Thrale, Hester i
I shall not wholly die, and a great part of me will escape the grave.
Horace
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
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho
I have a piece of great and sad news to tell you: I am dead.
Cocteau, Jean
He whom the Gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
Death doesn't affect the living because it has not happened yet. Death doesn't concern the dead because they have ceased to exist.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
Gray, Thomas
The grave's a fine and private place, but none, I think, do there embrace.
Marvell, Andrew
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Camus, Albert
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. [1 Corinthians 15:26]
Bible
To die is but to leave off dying and do the thing once for all.
Butler, Samuel
That last day does not bring extinction to us, but change of place.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It's a palliative. The remedy is death.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
Never knock on Death's door: ring the bell and run away! Death really hates that!
Matt Frewer
Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred --it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the dropsy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust --the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness.
Hazlitt, William
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. [1 Timothy 6:7]
Bible
There's a thing that keeps surprising you about stormy old friends after they die; their silence.
Becht, Ben
I look upon life as a gift from God. I did nothing to earn it. Now that the time is coming to give it back, I have no right to complain.
Cary, Joyce
I am not the least afraid to die.
Darwin, Charles R.
Nothing that is really good and God-like dies.
Arndt, Ernest Moritz
Fish die belly upward, and rise to the surface. Its their way of falling.
Gide, Andre
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
Eliot, George
I never think he is quite ready for another world who is altogether weary of this.
Hamilton, Hugh
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.
King Jr. Martin Luther
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
I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
Since the death instinct exists in the heart of everything that lives, since we suffer from trying to repress it, since everything that lives longs for rest, let us unfasten the ties that bind us to life, let us cultivate our death wish, let us develop it, water it like a plant, let it grow unhindered. Suffering and fear are born from the repression of the death wish.
Ionesco, Eugene
The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.
Lucan, F. L.
On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily as lying down.
Allen, Woody
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
Against self-slaughter there is a prohibition so divine that cravens my weak hand.
William Shakespeare
Dying is something we human beings do continuously, not just at the end of our physical lives on this earth.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
Death is the cure for all diseases.
Browne, Sir Thomas
A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off?
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
