Yossi Ghinsberg
Don’t send me flowers when I’m dead. If you like me, send them while I’m alive.

The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual – when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions – it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.

Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal which robs the second half of life of its purpose.
Carl Jung
You can’t call it an adventure unless it’s tinged with danger. The greatest danger in life, though, is not taking the adventure at all. To have the objective of a life of ease is death. I think we’ve all got to go after our own Everest.
Brian Blessed
There’s something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now.

Bill Hicks
Death is just life’s next big adventure.
J. K. Rowling
Death consists, indeed, in a repeated process of unrobing, or unsheathing.

Yuichiro Miura
You know, the Bible is so clear. Go to Genesis chapter nine and you will find the death penalty clearly stated in Genesis chapter nine… God ordains the death penalty!
Rafael Cruz
You can cry about death and very properly so, your own as well as anybody else’s. But it’s inevitable, so you’d better grapple with it and cope and be aware that not only is it inevitable, but it has always been inevitable, if you see what I mean.

Norman Davies
We die only once, and for such a long time.
Moliere

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
I am the living death, a Memorial Day on wheels. I am your Yankee Doodle Dandy, your John Wayne come home, your Fourth of July firecracker exploding in the grave.
Ron Kovic
Christians must share their faith in obedience to the Great Commission, because we are only seeing the fruit of sin this side of death.

Hermann Hesse
As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.
Blaise Pascal
The emotions triggered by fiction are very real. When Charles Dickens wrote about the death of Little Nell in the 1840s, people wept – and I’m sure that the death of characters in J.K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ series led to similar tears.
Paul Bloom
There is nothing glamorous or romantic about war. It’s mostly about random pointless death and misery.
Jon Krakauer
Death is not evil, for it frees man from all ills and takes away his desires along with desire’s rewards.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you’re scared to death.

Mary Roach
For death is not the worst, but when one wants to die and is not able even to have that.

Ari Aster
I don’t believe in the term ‘guilty pleasure,’ because it implies I should feel ashamed for liking something. A real guilty pleasure would be, I don’t know, taking gratification in some stranger’s ghastly death or something – which I guess I do enjoy, because I read a ton of true crime.
Bill Hader
It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life’s parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
Simone de Beauvoir
Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.
William Cowper
The death of a language. The word has the same kind of reluctant resonance as it has when we talk about the death of a person. And indeed, that’s how it should be. For that’s how it is. A language dies only when the last person who speaks it dies.

Andy Warhol
I think quite often a fate worse than death is life, for lots of people.

Jack Kevorkian
Life and death have been lacking in my life.
Jorge Luis Borges
We are all racing towards death. No matter how many great, intellectual conclusions we draw during our lives, we know they’re all only man-made, like God. I begin to wonder where it all leads. What can you do, except do what you can do as best you know how.
John Hurt
An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that deed must be done instead of prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanished, war eliminated.
Madalyn Murray O’Hair
Death seems to be a long way off. Is this not shallow thinking? It is worthless and is only a joke within a dream. It will not do to think in such a way and be negligent. Insofar as death is always at one’s door, one should make sufficient effort and act quickly.
Yamamoto Tsunetomo

Peter Steele
I shall ask for the abolition for the punishment of death until I have the infallibility of human judgment demonstrated to me.

Albert Camus
I am profoundly fascinated by cruelty, fear, horror and death. My films show my preoccupation with violence, the pathology of violence.

E. M. Forster
If we don’t know life, how can we know death?
Confucius
Marriage was defined by God a long time ago. Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve – one man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don’t think anyone else should either.
Kirk Cameron
Hunger, revenge, to sleep are petty foes, But only death the jealous eyes can close.

W. C. Fields
To hear of a thousand deaths in war is terrible, and we ‘know’ that it is. But as it registers on our hearts, it is not more terrible than one death fully imagined.
Wendell Berry
Property is unstable, and youth perishes in a moment. Life itself is held in the grinning fangs of Death, Yet men delay to obtain release from the world. Alas, the conduct of mankind is surprising.
Plautus
We do not know what love is. We know the symptoms of it, the pleasure, the pain, the fear, the anxiety and so on. We try to solve the symptoms, which becomes a wandering in darkness. We spend our days and nights in this, and it is soon over in death.

The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.

Death comes for us all. Even for kings he comes.
Robert Bolt
Between our birth and death we may touch understanding, As a moth brushes a window with its wing.

Death is an endless night so awful to contemplate that it can make us love life and value it with such passion that it may be the ultimate cause of all joy and all art.
Paul Theroux
My father blamed me for my brother Gunther’s death, for not bringing him home. He died in an avalanche as we descended from the summit of Nanga Parbat, one of the 14 peaks over 8,000m, in 1970. Gunther and I did so much together. It was difficult for my father to understand what it was like up there.

Klaus Schwab
I’m always on the verge of death in my head.

Albert Ellis
Death does not exist.
Edith Piaf
We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.

Don Miguel Ruiz
We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

Tom McMillan
Are there moments when I see unrequited crushes or ex-boyfriends slow dancing with their dates and kind of want to stab myself in the spleen with a salad fork? Yeah, sure.
Sloane Crosley
My biggest fear is death because I don’t think I’m going anywhere. And since I don’t think that, and I don’t have a belief… I’m married to someone who has the belief, so she knows she’s going somewhere.
Larry King
Death is not the worst that can happen to men.
Plato
The fear of death comes from limited awareness.
Deepak Chopra
Sometimes evil is in the form of a malignant clown, and sometimes evil is in the form of policy and legislators, and sometimes it’s a grinning death mask and it has something more viscerally terrifying about it.
Karyn Kusama
It is a horrible fact that we can read in the daily paper, without interrupting our breakfast, numerical reckonings of death and destruction that ought to break our hearts or scare us out of our wits.
Wendell Berry
Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death.
Thomas Carlyle
Lidia Bastianich, sorry, but kind of boring. I mean, I love Lidia, but you can fall asleep watching her. And Mario Batali? I love Mario to death… but he’s not romantic or sensual. Those are the things I bring to the table.
Giada De Laurentiis
Death is easier than a wretched life; and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.

Isaac Asimov
Even in the valley of the shadow of death, two and two do not make six.
Leo Tolstoy
Once you start doing only what you’ve already proven you can do, you’re on the road to death.
Jerry Seinfeld
I taught myself confidence. When I’d walk into a room and feel scared to death, I’d tell myself, ‘I’m not afraid of anybody.’ And people believed me. You’ve got to teach yourself to take over the world.
Priyanka Chopra
If nothing else, there’s comfort in recognising that no matter how much we fail and sin, death will limit our suffering.

Abu Bakr
Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge.

Death surrenders us totally to God: it makes us enter into him; we must, in return, surrender ourselves to death with absolute love and self-abandonment since, when death comes, all we can do is to surrender ourselves completely to the domination and guidance of God.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
I have no fear of death. More important, I don’t fear life.
Steven Seagal
Epigenetics doesn’t change the genetic code, it changes how that’s read. Perfectly normal genes can result in cancer or death. Vice-versa, in the right environment, mutant genes won’t be expressed. Genes are equivalent to blueprints; epigenetics is the contractor. They change the assembly, the structure.
Bruce Lipton
It is really very important while you are young to live in an environment in which there is no fear. Most of us, as we grow older, become frightened; we are afraid of living, afraid of losing a job, afraid of tradition, afraid of what the neighbours, or what the wife or husband would say, afraid of death.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.

Michel de Montaigne
The death of Christ proclaimed the justice and perpetuity of his Father’s law in punishing the transgressor, in that he consented to suffer the penalty of the law himself, in order to save fallen man from its curse.
Ellen G. White
If we can understand that death is not the end but is really a transition into the next life, the great part of life, that frees us up into receiving God’s courage and his help.
Max Lucado
Man always dies before he is fully born.
Erich Fromm
There’s nothing wrong in suffering, if you suffer for a purpose. Our revolution didn’t abolish danger or death. It simply made danger and death worthwhile.
H. G. Wells
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

Winston Churchill
Life is trouble. Only death is not. To be alive is to unfasten your belt and look for a fight.
Nikos Kazantzakis
One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one’s death, one dies one’s life.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Death is acceptable only if it represents the physically necessary passage toward a union, the condition of a metamorphosis.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Not the torturer will scare me, nor the body’s final fall, nor the barrels of death’s rifles, nor the shadows on the wall, nor the night when to the ground the last dim star of pain, is hurled but the blind indifference of a merciless, unfeeling world.
Roger Waters
I don’t believe in death, neither in flesh nor in spirit.
Bob Marley
In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly.
Jean Baudrillard
The death of JFK to the resignation of Richard Nixon marked a great turning point in American life.

Charlotte Bronte
‘Tis very certain the desire of life prolongs it.
Lord Byron
Even though everybody’s lives are different, in general we’re all human beings, and we go through the same things: disappointments, the pleasures of life, life and death. That’s always been a really big part of the show to me, making sure the audience feels connected, and that carries through to the album.
Joan Jett
He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death.
Thomas Paine
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
Whether you like it or not, you’re forced to come to the realisation that death is out there. But I don’t fear death, I’m a fatalist. I believe when it’s your time, that’s it. It’s the hand you’re dealt.

Death can come at any time to anyone. Everybody is equal before death.

Soldiers are citizens of death’s grey land, drawing no dividend from time’s tomorrows.
Siegfried Sassoon
Sometimes the early bird gets the worm, but sometimes the early bird gets frozen to death.
Myron Scholes
The death penalty confronts us with a penetrating moral question: Can even the monstrous crimes of those who are condemned to death and are truly guilty of such crimes erase their sacred dignity as human beings and their intrinsic right to life?
Blase J. Cupich
In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
Benjamin Franklin
I’m a standup comedian who can’t drive. I have never learned. I don’t trust my hand-eye coordination. You’re looking at someone who once dropped a cricket ball on to his own head during a routine catching practice; I don’t think it’s a great idea to have me in control of a high-speed metal death robot.
Nish Kumar

Andy Rooney
One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation.
Oscar Wilde
Death, the real simile for disease – for when we are ill, do we not always feel like we are dying, even if it’s only a little? – remains, despite our secularism, the most metaphoricised phenomenon of all.
Will Self
Activism is very seductive, and writing is painful and hard. It’s very scary to have a death threat living over your head. Activism is very sustaining. But I don’t view myself as a political person. I’m just someone who desperately wants to stay alive.
Larry Kramer
It is impossible to experience one’s death objectively and still carry a tune.

Marco Pierre White
Science without conscience is the death of the soul.
Francois Rabelais
It is natural to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes to that siren until she allures us to our death.
Patrick Henry
A martyr can never cooperate with death, go to death in a way that they’re not trying to escape.
Stanley Hauerwas
It is important to feel the anger without judging it, without attempting to find meaning in it. It may take many forms: anger at the health-care system, at life, at your loved one for leaving. Life is unfair. Death is unfair. Anger is a natural reaction to the unfairness of loss.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Woody Allen
Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
Epicurus
If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering. Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, even as fate and death. Without suffering and death, human life cannot be complete.

Huey Newton
Sleep after toil, port after stormy seas, Ease after war, death after life does greatly please.
Edmund Spenser
They can rule the world while they can persuade us our pain belongs in some order is death by famine worse than death by suicide, than a life of famine and suicide?
Adrienne Rich
The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends.
Joel Osteen
In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day, and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.
Jonathan Larson
The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life.
Russell M. Nelson
We as Americans believe it’s OK to kill people. We believe it’s OK to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. We think it’s OK to invade a country where we think Osama Bin Laden is and he’s in the other country. So we just go in and we just kill. And we have the death penalty; we sanction it.
Michael Moore
You’ll have time to rest when you’re dead.
Robert De Niro
The sole equality on earth is death.
Philip James Bailey
I don’t fear death because I don’t fear anything I don’t understand. When I start to think about it, I order a massage and it goes away.
Hedy Lamarr
No one’s death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humanness.
Hermann Broch
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time… It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
Leo Buscaglia
Every parting is a form of death, as every reunion is a type of heaven.
Tryon Edwards
In Hollywood, you can live alongside very famous but still incredibly boring people. I’ve never wanted to be immortal. Even if nobody remembers me after my death, it’s still okay with me.
Olivier Martinez
I hate death; it takes people away from you. You’re left feeling rudderless.
John Lydon
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
John Donne
Am I a trance medium? No. Have I got a gift psychically? Absolutely not. But I believe in the survival of consciousness after death.
Dan Aykroyd
I’ve always been pro-life from conception to natural death. It’s important for the Republican nominee to maintain what we stand for. We are the party that stands for all of life, whether it’s convenient or inconvenient, whether it’s perfect or imperfect.
Michele Bachmann
Death and sex are the dominant reality of our day.
Nick Mancuso
Any business today that embraces the status quo as an operating principle is going to be on a death march.

Albert Camus
Where is the politician who has not promised to fight to the death for lower taxes- and who has not proceeded to vote for the very spending projects that make tax cuts impossible?
Barry Goldwater
Where do we enroll in Life 101? Where are the classes dealing with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the failure of a relationship? Unfortunately, those lessons are mostly learned through trial by fire and the school of hard knocks.
Les Brown
Loss and possession, death and life are one, There falls no shadow where there shines no sun.
Hilaire Belloc
When you break up, your whole identity is shattered. It’s like death.

Ruskin Bond
When I’m lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me.
Morrissey
Ask anyone where they were when they heard of Diana’s death, and they won’t hesitate, because nobody can forget. Along with 9/11, it remains the most poleaxeing public event, news so shocking it made me shake, and drove everything else from my mind for days.
Michael Portillo
Life isn’t fair. It’s just fairer than death, that’s all.
William Goldman
An insatiable appetite for glory leads to sacrifice and death, but innate instinct leads to self-preservation and life.

John Harvey Kellogg

Aristotle
Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.
Victor Hugo
Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.

Pearl S. Buck
Sin brought death, and death will disappear with the disappearance of sin.
Mary Baker Eddy
In our Western culture, although death has come out of the closet, it is still not openly experienced or discussed. Allowing dying to be so intensely present enriches both the preciousness of each moment and our detachment from it.
Ram Dass
I want people who have received a diagnosis of Hepatitis C to know that they didn’t just receive a death sentence. They do have options, even if the person who gave them their diagnosis isn’t aware of all of them. The path they choose doesn’t have to be one of desperation.
Melody Beattie
To have died once is enough.
Virgil
I intend to live forever, or die trying.
Groucho Marx
We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It’s a death trap.
Anthony Hopkins
People make relegation out to be a fate worse than death but that’s nonsense. If the infrastructure is right, clubs can bounce back.

Tecumseh
If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved.

It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
John Steinbeck
Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Che Guevara
Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.
Michelangelo
I always mention stacking the dishwasher – any opportunity. But it’s the consequences – it’s the food poisoning and the potential death that will come with not loading the dishwasher properly.
Jon Richardson
I mean in the South African case, many of those who were part of death squads would have been respectable members of their white community, people who went to church on Sunday, every Sunday.

The goal of all life is death.
Sigmund Freud
Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.
Kevin Spacey

Louis XIV
For me, habit is just a synonym for death.
Juliette Binoche
In Sleep we lie all naked and alone, in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness, and we are strange and beautiful asleep; for we are dying the darkness and we know no death.
Thomas Wolfe
Our nature consists in motion; complete rest is death.
Blaise Pascal
All stories interest me, and some haunt me until I end up writing them. Certain themes keep coming up: justice, loyalty, violence, death, political and social issues, freedom.
Isabel Allende
Death not merely ends life, it also bestows upon it a silent completeness, snatched from the hazardous flux to which all things human are subject.
Hannah Arendt
The death of what’s dead is the birth of what’s living.
Arlo Guthrie
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.
Coco Chanel
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
Henry Van Dyke
We are being choked to death by the amount of plastic that we throw away. It’s killing our oceans. It’s entering into our bodies in the fish we eat.
Kevin Bacon
You can lose people without them dying, and I have, from moving, from traveling. The emotion is real, it just doesn’t actually have to do with death. I’m singing about what I know, and it’s a song about longing for somebody who’s disappeared in your life.
Jon Crosby
The death of my husband, coming immediately after the general knowledge of the discoveries with which his name is associated, was felt by the public, and especially by the scientific circles, to be a national misfortune.
Marie Curie
If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn’t worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it’s life or death.
Morgan Freeman
If you think aficionados of a living Constitution want to bring you flexibility, think again. You think the death penalty is a good idea? Persuade your fellow citizens to adopt it. You want a right to abortion? Persuade your fellow citizens and enact it. That’s flexibility.
Antonin Scalia
I feel birth, death, marriage is destined, and these things can’t be manipulated. I have surrendered my life completely. So, whenever it happens, I will accept it.
Sakshi Tanwar
Death and vulgarity are the only two facts in the nineteenth century that one cannot explain away.
Oscar Wilde
Life itself is but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living.
Thomas Browne
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
Marcus Aurelius
I believe in the Prince of Peace. I believe that War is Murder. I believe that armies and navies are at bottom the tinsel and braggadocio of oppression and wrong, and I believe that the wicked conquest of weaker and darker nations by nations whiter and stronger but foreshadows the death of that strength.
W. E. B. Du Bois
Drake’s my little brother; I love him to death, and he’s family-oriented.
Birdman
All has been looted, betrayed, sold; black death’s wing flashed ahead.

I’m not afraid of death. How can you be afraid of something that’s inevitable?
Lemmy
The line between life or death is determined by what we are willing to do.
Bear Grylls
There is no harm in patience, and no profit in lamentation. Death is easier to bear (than) that which precedes it, and more severe than that which comes after it. Remember the death of the Apostle of God, and your sorrow will be lessened.
Abu Bakr
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
Leonardo da Vinci
You can change your world by changing your words… Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.

Vir Das
For, after all, put it as we may to ourselves, we are all of us from birth to death guests at a table which we did not spread.
Rebecca Harding Davis
Once a disease has entered the body, all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone, but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster.
Paracelsus
Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective.
P. J. O’Rourke
Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil… prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon.
Terry Pratchett
Grace is what matters in anything – especially life, especially growth, tragedy, pain, love, death. That’s a quality that I admire very greatly. It keeps you from reaching out for the gun too quickly. It keeps you from destroying things too foolishly. It sort of keeps you alive.
Jeff Buckley
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
Attachment and aversion are the root cause of karma, and karma originates from infatuation. Karma is the root cause of birth and death, and these are said to be the source of misery. None can escape the effect of their own past karma.
Mahavira
