Death Quotes
In the black sky no star is seen, somewhere in ambush lurks the Angel of Death, but the spices tongues of the masqueraders are loose and shameless A shout: 'Make way for the hero!' Ah yes. Displacing the tall one, he will step forth now without fail and sing to us about holy vengeance...
Anna Akhmatova
Has a man the right to kill himself? Yes, if his death harms no one and if life is an evil to him. When is life an evil? When it offers a man nothing but suffering and pain.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I knew, as everyone knows, that the easiest way to attract a crowd is to let it be known that at a given time and a given place some one is going to attempt something that in the event of failure will mean sudden death. That's what attracts us to the man who paints the flagstaff on the tall building, or to the 'human fly' who scales the walls of the same building.
Harry Houdini
When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter. The body is an old crock that nobody will miss. I have never known a man to think of himself when dying. Never.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I hope I am not too repetitive. However, coming to terms with death is part of the general human situation.
Margaret Mahy
Is life a pregnancy? That would make death a birth.
Florida Scott-Maxwell
I will not yield to any man contrary to what is right, for fear of death, even if I should die at once for not yielding.
Socrates
I'm one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you're doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.
Anthony Hopkins
For writers that rehearsal period is death. It is the most destructive thing of all to a script.
Peter Stone
It is sacrilege to attempt analysis of birth or love or death. Death and birth, the mysteries! Love, the revelation!
Katherine Cecil Thurston
You can not bring back the past. But you certainly can not repeat it. Life is short, even if live to ninety. Live to the fullest - that's how I feel. Appreciate every moment, every hour, every day, because they do not blink of an eye, all over. I am absolutely sure that for most people their death comes as a surprise.
Bruce Willis
O comfort-killing night, image of hell, Dim register and notary of shame, Black stage for tragedies and murders fell, Vast sin-concealing chaos, nurse of blame!
William Shakespeare
