Death

If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.

Maya Angelou

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

Steve Jobs

Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.

Alice Walker

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

Albert Einstein

The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.

Will Rogers

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.

George S. Patton

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.

John Lennon

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.

Charles Dickens

Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity.

John Milton

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

Isaac Asimov

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.

Norman Cousins

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 darkness of death is like the evening twilight; it makes all objects appear more lovely to the dying.

Jean Paul Richter

Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

Elbert Hubbard

Even in the valley of the shadow of death, two and two do not make six.

Leo Tolstoy

No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions.

Elie Wiesel

Our nature consists in motion; complete rest is death.

Blaise Pascal

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

Marcus Aurelius

War is war. The only good human being is a dead one.

George Orwell

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

Mark Twain
