Best Quotes about Death
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Barker, Clive
The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright.
Ellis, Alice Thomas
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
To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.
Auerbach, Red
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
Death is a displaced name for a linguistic predicament.
Man, Paul De
If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age.
George Burns
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
Young, Edward
We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.
Manilius, Marcus
The dead should be judged like criminals, impartially, but they should be allowed the benefit of the doubt.
Butler, Samuel
Death always waits. The door of the hearse is never closed.
Bayly, Joseph
A dead atheist is someone who is all dressed up with no place to go.
Duffecy, James
If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.
Samuel Goldwyn
In the last analysis it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions life puts to us.
Hammarskjold, Dag
The fact that when we die we are nothing more than worm meat---I just don't think about it.
Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess
So every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity.
William Shakespeare
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
Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?
Huxley, Aldous
And what the dead had no speech for, when living, they can tell you, being dead: the communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
Eliot, T. S.
How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.
Macdonald, George
I am not the least afraid to die.
Darwin, Charles R.
The infant runs toward it with its eyes closed, the adult is stationary, the old man approaches it with his back turned.
Diderot, Denis
Death is the enemy. I spent 10 years of my life singlemindedly studying, practicing, fighting hand to hand in close quarters to defeat the enemy, to send him back bloodied and humble and I am not going to roll over and surrender.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
You must not fear death, my lads; defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
'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
The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.
Mann, Thomas
Death destroys a man, the idea of Death saves him.
Forster, Edward M.
Death is the final wake-up call.
Horton, Doug
Only the young die good.
Herford, Oliver
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
A useless life is an early death.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
To leave is to die a little... one leaves behind a little of oneself at any hour, at any place.
Haracourt, Edmond
We all have to die some day, if we live long enough.
Farber, Dave
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
Death eats up all things, both the young lamb and old sheep; and I have heard our parson say, death values a prince no more than a clown; all's fish that comes to his net; he throws at all, and sweeps stakes; he's no mower that takes a nap at noon-day, but drives on, fair weather or foul, and cuts down the green grass as well as the ripe corn: he's neither squeamish nor queesy-stomach d, for he swallows without chewing, and crams down all things into his ungracious maw; and you can see no belly he has, he has a confounded dropsy, and thirsts after men's lives, which he gurgles down like mother's milk.
Cervantes, Miguel De
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
A person doesn't die when he should but when he can.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
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
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
Auden, W. H.
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
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
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
Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He comet up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
Book Of Common Prayer
Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.
Horace
O how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living.
Philip II
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Darrow, Clarence
Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.
Camus, Albert
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
Woe, woe, woe... in a little while we shall all be dead. Therefore let us behave as though we were dead already.
Chandler, Raymond
