Death Quotes
-
I think I have fairly heard and fairly weighed the evidence on both sides, and I remain an utter disbeliever in almost all that you consider the most sacred truths [...] I can see much to admire in all religions [...] But whether there be a God and whatever be His nature; whether we have an immortal soul or not, or whatever may be our state after death, I can have no fear of having to suffer for the study of nature and the search for truth.
Alfred Russel Wallace
-
Not only do we know God by Jesus Christ alone, but we know ourselves only by Jesus Christ. We know life and death only through Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.
Blaise Pascal
-
Remember, imbeciles and wits,sots and ascetics, fair and foul,young girls with little tender tits,that DEATH is written over all.Worn hides that scarcely clothe the soulthey are so rotten, old and thin,or firm and soft and warm and full-fellmonger Death gets every skin.
Basil Bunting
-
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death. And if ever there was it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it.
Walt Whitman
-
Be of good hope in the face of death. Believe in this one truth for certain, that no evil can befall a good man either in life or death, and that his fate is not a matter of indifference to the gods.
Socrates
-
It has always seemed to me that the only painless death must be that which takes the intelligence by violent surprise and from the rear so to speak since if death be anything at all beyond a brief and peculiar emotional state of the bereaved it must be a brief and likewise peculiar state of the subject as well and if aught can be more painful to any intelligence above that of a child or an idiot than a slow and gradual confronting with that which over a long period of bewilderment and dread it has been taught to regard as an irrevocable and unplumbable finality, I do not know it.
William Faulkner
-
I wish somebody had told me love does not die, that we can continue to receive and give love after death.
Sandra Cisneros
-
Death by hanging. That, at least, I thought I would be spared.
Wilhelm Keitel
-
Death! great proprietor of all! 'tis thine
To tread out empire, and to quench the stars.
Edward Joseph Young
-
And doomed to death, though fated not to die.
John Dryden
-
The resurrection is not an isolated supernatural oddity proving how powerful, if apparently arbitrary, God can be when he wants to. Nor is it at all a way of showing that there is indeed a heaven awaiting us after death. It is the decisive event demonstrating that God’s kingdom really has been launched on earth as it is in heaven.
N. T. Wright
-
Love, thine is the future. Death, I use thee, but I hate thee. Citizens, there shall be in the future neither darkness nor thunderbolts; neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood.
Victor Hugo
-
Father, perfect my trust;Let my spirit feel in death,That her feet are firmly setOn the rock of a living faith!
Phoebe Cary
-
There was a whole, sprawling world underneath us, filled with ugly, vicious, beautiful people. The line between the two places was thin, hardly a separation, and both ran on pain and blood and fear and death and joy and music.
But for now, the sunset was enough.
Brenna Yovanoff
-
The anguish of death hangs over and leads the human spirit to wonder about the mysteries of existence, man's destiny, life, the world.
Edgar Morin
-
That’s the way it is with our Father in Heaven. When you became a son or a daughter, when you were adopted into His family, He opened up for you through His Son’s death on the cross a way of fellowship and relationship that makes it possible for you to bypass the temple and its animal sacrifices. You don’t have to talk to God through a priest. You can go right into the presence of God Almighty and He will hear you.
David Jeremiah
-
It is sacrilege to attempt analysis of birth or love or death. Death and birth, the mysteries! Love, the revelation!
Katherine Cecil Thurston
-
It makes no sense to say that death is the goal of life, but what else is there to say?
Emil Cioran
