Death Quotes

The reaper does not listen to the harvest.

Terry Pratchett

We who think we are about to die will laugh at anything.

Terry Pratchett

Because everybody who has ever lost their way in life has felt the nagging insistence of that question. At some point we all look up and realize we are lost in a maze, and I dont want us to forget Alaska, and I don't want to forget that even when the material we study seems boring, we're trying to und3erstand how people answered that question and the question each of you posed in your papers--how different traditions have come to terms with what Chip, in his final, called 'people's rotten lots in life.

John Green

There always comes a time in history when the person who dares to say that 2 2=4 is punished by death. And the issue is not what reward or what punishment will be the outcome of that reasoning. The issue is simply whether or not 2 2=4.

Albert Camus

Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.

Mel Brooks

A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.

Jesse Jackson

Žmogus silpnas, tod?l visada bando nuo sav?s nusl?pti didži?j? Mirties ties?. Jis nesuvokia, jog tiktai ji skatina gyvenime atlikti pa?ius didžiausius darbus. Žmogus bijo nuklysti ? tams?, j? siaubingai g?sdina nežinomyb?, ir t? baim? ?manoma ?veikti tik nepamirštant, kad jo dienos suskai?iuotos. Žmogus nesupranta, jog, susitaik?s su Mirtimi, sugeb?t? ryžtis didesniems darbams, pasiekti nepalyginamai didesni? pergali? savo kasdien?je kovoje, nes neturi ko prarasti - Mirtis neišvengiama.

Paulo Coelho

Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not.

Epicurus

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

Either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness, or, as men say, there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another....Now if death be of such a nature, I say that to die is to gain; for eternity is then only a single night.

Plato

And you know, there's less charm in life when you think about death--but it's more peaceful.

Leo Tolstoy

People are scared to death of dying. I am the opposite.

Taylor Caldwell

Neil Gaiman

Had it not been for slavery, the death penalty would have likely been abolished in America. Slavery became a haven for the death penalty.

Angela Davis

More than 100 people have been sent to death row who were later exonerated because they weren't guilty or fairly tried. Most criminal defendants do not get adequate representation because there are not enough public defenders to represent them. There is a lot that is wrong.

John Grisham

It would kill the past, and when that was dead, he would be free.

Oscar Wilde

For those who seek to understand it, death is a highly creative force. The highest spiritual values of life can originate from the thought and study of death.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

No motion has she now, no force; she neither hears nor sees; rolled around in earth's diurnal course, with rocks, and stones, and trees.

William Wordsworth

Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.

William Hazlitt

Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred --it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the dropsy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust --the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness.

William Hazlitt
