Death Quotes
-
These are not paintings in the usual sense, they are life and death merging in fearful union.
Clyfford Still
-
It was one of those somber evenings when the sighing of the wind resembles the moans of a dying man; a storm was brewing, and between the splashes of rain on the windows there was the silence of death. All nature suffers in such moments; the trees writhe in pain and twist their heads; the birds of the fields cower under the bushes; the streets of cities are deserted.
Alfred de Musset
-
All the criticism and all of the praise, it doesn't - it's not worth the salt that goes on my bread, because TV is fickle. You can be loved one day and hated the next day. One day, you're getting an award. And the next day, you're getting a death threat.
Nancy Grace
-
If death had only negative aspects, dying would be an unmanageable action.
Emil Cioran

The essential part of our being can only survive if the transient part dissolves. Death is a condition of survival. That which has been gained must be eternalized, and can only be eternalized by being transmuted, by passing through death they must return

Prudent people are very happy; 'tis an exceeding fine thing, that's certain, but I was born without it, and shall retain to my day of Death the Humour of saying what I think.
Mary Wortley Montagu

I knew Marilyn over a two-year period. I met her first on a movie called 'Let's Make Love.' I photographed her at that time on and off through the time of her death. I was 22 years old and she was 34 or 35.

Life is nothing unless death has been faced down.

Funny how gentle people get with you once you're dead.
William Franklin Beedle Jr.
-
Brother, sister, only words; but this, a reality, a destroyer at the gate. What could it have mattered, after all, to celebrate her hungry youth, and his, before the sword fell on her? All the plots and schemes, the moralities and codes of men, seemed dust in the face of death.
Tanith Lee
-
..., twice two is four is not life, gentlemen, but the beginning of death.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death.
Lena Horne
-
I don’t fear death. I remember my last meeting with my father when he told me, 'You know, tonight when I will be killed, my mother and my father will be waiting for me.' It makes me weepy … but I don’t think it can happen unless God wants it to happen because so many people have tried to kill me.
Benazir Bhutto

In his (Christ's) surrender on the cross all the pain and agony of mankind was concentrated at a single point, and passed through from death to immortality, There is no pain of any creature from the beginning to the end of time which was not 'known' at this point and thus transmuted. To know all things in the Word is thus to know all the suffering of the world transfigured by the resurrection, somehow reconciled and atoned in eternal life. It was God's purpose which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things on heaven and things on earth'.
Bede Griffiths
