Death Quotes
When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
Tecumseh
Not many people remember this, but in the first 'Death Wish' film, Charles Bronson doesn't actually go after the people that hurt his family: he just goes after every punk. He just blows them all away.
James Wan
I don't fear death so much as I fear its prologues: loneliness, decrepitude, pain, debilitation, depression, senility. After a few years of those, I imagine death presents like a holiday at the beach.
Mary Roach
I was blessed with a birth and a death, and I guess I just want some say in-between.

Men after death ... are understood worse than men of the moment, but heard better.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Between the mysteries of death and lifeThou standest, loving, guiding,- not explaining;We ask, and Thou art silent,- yet we gaze,And our charmed hearts forget their drear complaining;No crushing fate, no stony destiny!Thou Lamb that hast been slain, we rest in Thee.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Blood and death. That moves me.
Ikue Mori

John Harvey Kellogg
I want to have her back as an ingredient in the restoration of my past. Could I have wished her anything worse? Having got once through death, to come back and then, at some later date, have all her dying to do all over again? They call Stephen the first martyr. Hadn't Lazarus the rawer deal?
C. S. Lewis
I feel the hot winds of karma driving me. Nevertheless I remain here. My training was correct: I must not shrink from the clear white light, for if I do, I will once more re-enter the cycle of birth and death, never knowing freedom, never obtaining release. The veil of maya will fall once more.
Philip K. Dick

Bill Bryson
