Best Quotes about Death

Bayly, Joseph

But learn that to die is a debt we must all pay.

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

'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

Mcgovern, George

25.

Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.

Berra, Yogi

26.

When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from, but our severity.

Eliot, George

27.

On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done just as easily as lying down.

Allen, Woody

28.

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.

Steve Jobs

32.

One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.

Like pilgrims to the appointed place we tend; The world's an inn, and death the journey's end.
