When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.
-- Winston Churchill
We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.
The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
There will always be death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year.
Never chase a lie. Let it alone, and it will run itself to death.

I expose slavery in this country, because to expose it is to kill it. Slavery is one of those monsters of darkness to whom the light of truth is death.
-- Frederick Douglass
the silence that guards the tomb does not reveal God's secret in the obscurity of the coffin, and the rustling of the branches whose roots suck the body's elements do not tell the mysteries of the grave, by the agonized sighs of my heart announce to the living the drama which love, beauty, and death have performed.

Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.
Dylan Thomas
And come he slow or come he fast, it is but Death who comes at last.
Sir Walter Scott
Death is one of two things. Either it is annihilation, and the dead have no consciousness of anything; or, as we are told, it is really a change: a migration of the soul from one place to another.
Socrates
To fear death is nothing other than to think oneself wise when one is not. For it is to think one knows what one does not know. No one knows whether death may not even turn out to be the greatest blessings of human beings. And yet people fear it as if they knew for certain it is the greatest evil.
Socrates
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Shakespeare, Macbeth
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, that myth is more potent that history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts - that hope always triumphs over experience - that laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death

Virginia Woolf
Death is nothing to us and no concern of ours . . . When we shall be no more, when the union of body and spirit that engenders us has been disrupted - to us, who shall then be nothing, nothing by any hazard will happen any more at all. Nothing will have power to stir our senses, not though earth be fused with sea and sea with sky . . . Rest assured that we have nothing to fear in death. One who no longer is cannot suffer, or differ in any way from one who has never been born.
Lucretius [De rerum natura, iii:828-840; 864-867]
If man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live

Leo Buscaglia
For life in the present there is no death. Death is not an event in life. It is not a fact in the world.
Wittgenstein
Our brains are seventy-year clocks. The Angel of Life winds them up once for all, then closes the case, and gives the key into the hand of the Angel of the Resurrection.

Edward Abbey
I hit him to get his attention. I shot him to calm him down. I killed him to reason with him.
Henry Rollins
We are afraid to live, but scared to die
Inderpal Bahra
Perhaps passing through the gates of death is like passing quietly through the gate in a pasture fence. On the other side, you keep walking, without the need to look back. No shock, no drama, just the lifting of a plank or two in a simple wooden gate in a clearing. Neither pain, nor floods of light, nor great voices, but just the silent crossing of a meadow.
Mark Helprin, "A Soldier of the Great War"
How this feels is I'm just another task in God's daily planner: The Renaissance pencilled in for right after the Dark Ages. The Information Age is scheduled immediately after the Industrial Revolution. Then the Post-Modern Era, then The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Famine. Check. Pestilence. Check. War. Check. Death. Check. And between the big events, the earthquakes and tidal waves, God's got me squeezed in for a cameo appearance. Then maybe in thirty years, or maybe next year, God's daily planner has me finished.
Chuck Palahniuk, In Philosophy
Death is a low chemical trick played on everybody except sequoia trees.
JJ Furnas.
Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.

Death is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down. The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you.

Maurice Maeterlinck.
The best way to get to heaven is to take it with you
Henry Drummond
Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
R. W. Raymond
The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life: your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away, but they're not punishing you, they're freeing your soul. If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth
Meister Eckhart
Only those who have dared to let go can dare to reenter
Meister Eckhart
Normally we do not like to think about death. We would rather think about life. Why reflect on death? When you start preparing for death you soon realize that you must look into your life...now...and come to face the truth of your self. Death is like a mirror in which the true meaning of life is reflected
Sogyal Rinpoche
No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today

Mexico: where life is cheap, death is rich, and the buzzards are never unhappy
Edward Abbey, In Places/Mexico
Our suicidal poets (Plath, Berryman, Lowell, Jarrell, et al.) spent too much of their lives inside rooms and classrooms when they should have been trudging up mountains, slogging through swamps, rowing down rivers. The indoor life is the next best thing to premature burial.
Edward Abbey, In Literature
Each soul enters with a mission. We all have a mission to perform
Edgar Cayce
It is not all of life to live, nor yet all of death to die. For life and death are one, and only those who will consider the experience as one may come to understand or comprehend what peace indeed means
Edgar Cayce
Only the destructive forces know death as lord. Only spiritual forces know life as the Lord. Know ye the Lord!"
Edgar Cayce
The last to be overcome is death, and the knowledge of life is the knowledge of death.

Decrees of the Fifth General Council
Never the spirit was born, the spirit shall cease to be never. Never was time it was not, end and beginning are dreams.
the Bhagavad Gita
The universal law of karma ... is that of action and reaction, cause and effect, sowing and reaping. In the course of natural righteousness, man, by his thoughts and actions, becomes the arbiter of his destiny.
Paramahansa Yogananda
When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices. When you die, you rejoice, and the world cries.
Tibetan Buddhist saying

Mother Teresa
All are but parts of one stupendous whole whose body Nature is, and God the soul.

I believe there are two sides to the phenomenon known as death, this side where we live, and the other side where we shall continue to live. Eternity does not start with death. We are in eternity now.

You live on earth only for a few short years which you call an incarnation, and then you leave your body as an outworn dress and go for refreshment to your true home in the spirit.
White Eagle
We are born with two incurable diseases, life, from which we die, and hope, which says maybe death isn't the end.
Andrew Greeley
We are ignorant of the Beyond because this ignorance is the condition of our own life. Just as ice cannot know fire except by melting and vanishing.
Jules Renard
It is worth dying to find out what life is.
T.S. Eliot
What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.
T.S. Eliot
The boundaries between life and death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends and where the other begins?
Edgar Allen Poe
Of course you don't die. Nobody dies. Death doesn't exist. You only reach a new level of vision, a new realm of consciousness, a new unknown world.
Henry Miller
A man's dying is more the survivors' affair than his own.
Thomas Mann
You are all poets and I am on the side of death
Jacques Vaché
I'm not afraid of death. It's the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.
Jean Giraudoux, Amphitryon
To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead.
Samuel Butler
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Mark Twain
The idea is to die young as late as possible.
Ashley Montagu
No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow.
Euripides
Boy, when you are dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you are dead? Nobody.
J.D. Salinger
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
Leonardo Da Vinci
If man were immortal he could be perfectly sure of seeing the day when everything in which he had trusted should betray his trust, and, in short, of coming eventually to hopeless misery. He would break down, at last, as every good fortune, as every dynasty, as every civilization does. In place of this we have death.
Charles Sanders Peirce
We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon, this afternoon which is so certain and which has every hour filled in advance.
Marcel Proust
They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
Arthur Schopenhauer
To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Expeditions of an Untimely Man
Embalm, v.: To cheat vegetation by locking up the gases upon which it feeds. By embalming their dead and thereby deranging the natural balance between animal and vegetable life, the Egyptians made their once fertile and populous country barren and incapable of supporting more than a meagre crew. The modern metallic burial casket is a step in the same direction, and many a dead man who ought now to be ornamenting his neighbor's lawn as a tree, or enriching his table as a bunch of radishes, is doomed to a long inutility. We shall get him after awhile if we are spared, but in the meantime the violet and the rose are languishing for a nibble at his glutaeus maximus.
Ambrose Bierce
When I die I shall be content to vanish into nothingness.... No show, however good, could conceivably be good forever.... I do not believe in immortality, and have no desire for it.
H.L. Mencken
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Leonardo DaVinci
A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.
Stewart Alsop
I wouldn't mind dying - it's the business of having to stay dead that scares the shit out of me.

It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice; there are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia

The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their lives, which infallibly destroy them

Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage

When I heard she'd died of cramp
Just too late to save the stamp.
H. Graham, Ruthless Rhymes, Mr Jones
Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
H. W. Longfellow, Tales of a Wayside Inn, 3, The Theologian's Tale
There are two bodies - the rudimental and the complete; corresponding with the two conditions of the worm and the butterfly. What we call "death", is but the painful metamorphosis.
Edgar Allan Poe, Mesmeric Revelation
Death is the only event which we can predict with absolute certainty, and yet it is the event about which the majority of human beings refuse to think at all until faced with the imminent and personal issue. People face death in many different ways; some bring to the adventure a feeling of self-pity, and are so occupied with what they have to leave behind, what is about to end for them, and the relinquishing of all they have gathered in life, that the true significance of the inevitable future fails to arrest their attention. Others face it with courage, making the best of what may not be evaded, and look up into the face of death with a gallant gesture because there is nothing else they can do . . . Still others refuse altogether to consider the possibility; they hypnotize themselves into a condition wherein the thought of death is refused all lodgment in their consciousness, and they will not consider its possibility, so that when it comes, it catches them unawares; they are left helpless and unable to do more than simply die.
Alice A. Bailey, From Bethlehem to Calvary
For when the one Great Scorer comes
To write against your name,
He marks - not that you won or lost -
But how you played the game.
G. Rice
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
W. Shakespeare
Cowards die many times before their deaths:
The valiant never taste of death but once.
W. Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
Sleep after toil, port after stormy seas,
Ease after war, death after life does greatly please.

Among new men, strange faces, other minds.
Tennyson, 1st Baron, Idylls of the King, The Passing of Arthur,
Dead men tell no lies
Cypress Hill
You get what anyone gets - you get a lifetime
Death from the Neil Gaiman comic Sandman
A man acts according to the desires to which he clings. After death he goes to the next world bearing in his mind the subtle impressions of his deeds; and, after reaping there the harvest of those deeds, he returns again to this world of action. Thus he who has desire continues subject to rebirth.
He who lacks discrimination, whose mind is unsteady and whose heart is impure, never reaches the goal, but is born again and again. But he who has discrimination, whose mind is steady and whose heart is pure, reaches the goal and, having reached it, is born no more.

How do I know that loving life is not a delusion? How do I know that in hating death I am not like a man who, having left home in his youth, has forgotten the way back?
