Best Quotes about Death
Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.
Aeschylus
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
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
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
Life is a loss of time.
Kocher, Gerhard
Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. My advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
Hendrix, Jimi
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Frost, Robert
The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.
Auden, W. H.
Some dying men are the most tyrannical; and certainly, since they will shortly trouble us so little for evermore, the poor fellows ought to be indulged.
Melville, Herman
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
Marx, Groucho
Being prepared for loss is never the same as being ready for it.
Randy K. Milholland
I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Allen, Woody
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
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.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Our dead brothers still live for us and bid us think of life, not death -- of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of Spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil, our trumpets, sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell
Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.
Milton, John
We should weep for men at their birth, not at their death.
Montesquieu, Charles De
But there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
Death may be the King of terrors... but Jesus is the King of kings!
Moody, Dwight L.
The fear of death is worse than death.
Burton, Robert
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.
The pride of dying rich raises the loudest laugh in hell.
Foster, John W.
In the last analysis it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions life puts to us.
Hammarskjold, Dag
When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I'll have no ego to injure.
Aaron McGruder
It is difficult to accept death in this society because it is unfamiliar. In spite of the fact that it happens all the time, we never see it.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.
Gurdjieff, George
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. [1 Corinthians 15:26]
Bible
When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
Madam, Life's a piece in bloom death goes dogging everywhere: She's the tenant of the room he's the ruffian on the stair.
Henley, William Ernest
Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.
Herodotus
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
Well, there's a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other.
Cervantes, Miguel De
A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.
Huxley, Aldous
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Epicurus
The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself.
Publilius Syrus
Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Life is the desert, life the solitude, death joins us to the great majority.
Young, Edward
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
An evil life is a kind of death.
Ovid
But learn that to die is a debt we must all pay.
Euripides
I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Woody Allen
dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call.
Plath, Sylvia
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.
I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead.
Buffett, Jimmy
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
An orphan's curse would drag to hell, a spirit from on high; but oh! more horrible than that, is a curse in a dead man's eye!
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor
The grave's a fine and private place, but none, I think, do there embrace.
Marvell, Andrew
Death, they say, acquits us of all obligations.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
