Death Quotes
An insatiable appetite for glory leads to sacrifice and death, but innate instinct leads to self-preservation and life.
Jose Marti
Nothing can separate you from His love, absolutely nothing, neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature... We do not need to beg Him to bless us, He simply cannot help it. Therefore God is enough! God is enough for time, God is enough for eternity. God is enough!
Hannah Whitall Smith
Just where death is expecting you is something we cannot know; so, for your part, expect him everywhere.
Seneca the Younger

Elizabeth von Arnim

Anthony Lawlor
And as to you Death, and you bitter hug of mortality, it is idle to try to alarm me.... And as to you corpse, I think you are good manure, but that does not offend me, I smell the white roses sweet-scented and growing, I reach to the leafy lips — I reach to the polished breasts of melons. And as to you life, I reckon you are the leavings of many deaths, No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before.
Walt Whitman
It is the acceptance of death that has finally allowed me to choose life.
Elizabeth Lesser
Life without friends is death without witness.

We've enshrined the purity, sanctity, value, and importance of bringing children into the world, yet we don't discuss death. There used to be an enshrined period where mourning was a necessary part of going through the process of grieving; death wasn't considered morbid or antisocial. But that's totally gone.
Cate Blanchett
The end comes, no matter what. The only thing that matters is, how do you want to go out, on your feet or on your knees?
Richard Jenkins
Death was not to be a leap: it was to be a long descent under thickening shadows.
George Eliot
Death is terrible, tho' borne on angels' wings!
William Blake
For a while longer you may be able to carry on with your plundering and murderous crimes, but you will not escape your ultimate fate. We shall exhaust and then destroy you in a difficult and prolonged battle. When one of us falls, there are tens of others who will rise. Our death is no ordinary death and our life no ordinary life.
Ashraf Dehghani
Nothing depends upon the death of an individual, be he ever so great, but much depends upon the freedom of India.
Mahatma Gandhi
