Death Quotes
-
I saw Death itself.
It was a feral thing, made of smoke and shadow. It was hollow and empty.
And hungry.
Starving.
Beth Revis
-
Men will consider deeply before they buy a tie or choose a meal; but when it comes to throwing aside their purpose in life, possibly life itself, they do not think at all. They consent to be marshalled, controlled, exposed to unimagined shock, mutilation and death, with barely a tremor, and their reasons for complying, if indeed they have any, would comparen most shamefully with their reasons for doing anything else.
Elizabeth Jane Howard
-
Indeed, the greatest blessing that can follow the death of those we love is reconciliation. Without it there is no peace. But with it come quiet thoughts and quickened memories. And what else shall a man do except become reconciled? What purpose does he serve by fighting what he cannot touch or by brooding upon what he cannot change?
Richard L. Evans
-
Our media, which is like a planetary nervous system, are far more sensitive to breakdowns than to breakthroughs. They filter out our creativity and successes, considering them less newsworthy than violence, war, and dissent. When we read newspapers and watch television news, we feel closer to a death in the social body than to an awakening.
Barbara Marx Hubbard
-
There are times when only America can make the difference between war and peace, between freedom and repression, between life death. We cannot save all the world's children but we can save many of them.
Bill Clinton
-
This death expert said it's everything underground that makes grass so green. That dead things make the living. I want to lie down on the bench then, or better yet, on the grass, rest on something living and see if I can hear the dead underneath.
Elizabeth Scott
-
Sometimes a little near death experience helps them put things into perspective.
Anne Shropshire
-
If it means my death, I don't care, because even death will be a sort of freedom.
Catherine Fisher
-
Every day, therefore, should be regulated as if it were the one that brings up the rear, the one that rounds out and completes our lives.
Seneca the Younger
-
How happily, how happily, the flowers die away! / Oh! Could we but return to earth as easily as they.
Caroline Anne Southey
-
I have come to a still, but not a deep center,
A point outside the glittering current;
My eyes stare at the bottom of a river,
At the irregular stones, iridescent sandgrains,
My mind moves in more than one place,
In a country half-land, half-water.
I am renewed by death, thought of my death,
The dry scent of a dying garden in September,
The wind fanning the ash of a low fire.
What I love is near at hand,
Always, in earth and air.
Theodore Roethke
-
Death is the black backing on the mirror that allows us to see anything at all.
Saul Bellow
-
Day turned to night, His friends scattered and death thought it had won. But heaven just started counting to three.
Bob Goff
-
Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow.
Seneca the Younger
-
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
-
Real security is contemplating death, not pretending it doesn't exist.
Eve Ensler
-
There are ways of dying that don't end in funerals. Types of death you can't smell.
Haruki Murakami
-
...those who break the law should be loved more and not less for their sin, for if we do not forgive then is sin added to sin and the end is death.
Elizabeth Goudge
