Death Quotes
-
God, to prevent all escape, hath sown the seeds of death in our very constitution and nature, so that we can as soon run from ourselves, as run from death. We need no feller to come with a hand of violence and hew us down; there is in the tree a worm, which grows out of its own substance, that will destroy it; so in us, those infirmities of nature that will bring us down to the dust.
William Gurnall
-
It is a well-known fact that very often, putting the period of boyhood out of the argument, the older we grow the more cynical and hardened we become; indeed, many of us are only saved by timely death from moral petrification, if not from moral corruption.
H. Rider Haggard

Life hath more awe than death.
Philip James Bailey
-
The illness has only made certain ambivalences I'd always been conscious of that much more acute. Life versus Death, the absolute randomness of one's position, privilege, and place, the lot one draws, and so on. It has made previously suspicious – seeming clichés seem more tolerable. Love may not be all you need, but it is certainly a necessity. My desire to survive has been exponentially magnified by the fact that there is someone intimately tangled up in me who would be left alone with the world.
Ben Doller
-
The death tax is unfair, inefficient, economically unsound and, frankly, immoral.
Jon Kyl
-
Go and try to disprove death. Death will disprove you, and that's all!
Ivan Turgenev
-
What is found now is found then. If you find nothing now, you will simply end up with an apartment in the City of Death.
Kabir
-
Someone who thinks death is the scariest thing doesn't know a thing about life.
Sue Monk Kidd
-
Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown, and something greater, can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.
Brad Pitt
