Death Quotes (page 34)

And now she was thinking of her own death, with her heart gripped not by fear but by the excitement of a great discovery, the feeling that she was about to learn what she had been unable to learn from her brief experience of love. What she thought about death was childish, but what could never have touched her in the past now filled her with poignant tenderness, as sometimes a familiar face we see suddenly with the eyes of love makes us aware that it has been dearer to us than life itself for... Georges Bernanos
To enter into the realm of contemplation, one must in a certain sense die: but this death is in fact the entrance into a higher life. It is a death for the sake of life, which leaves behind all that we can know or treasure as life, as thought, as experience as joy, as being. [Every form of intuition and experience] die to be born again on a higher level of life. Thomas Merton
You fear them because you fear death, and rightly: for death is terrible and must be feared,' the mage said...'And life is also a terrible thing,' Ged said, 'and must be feared and praised. Ursula K. Le Guin
I cannot think without a shudder of contracting any obligation towards death. I hate death; for, happy or miserable, life is the only blessing which man possesses, and those who do not love it are unworthy of it. Giacomo Casanova
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. J. R. R. Tolkien
Joseph Stalin quote: "The death of one is a tragedy, but death of a million is just..."
The death of one is a tragedy, but death of a million is just a statistic Joseph Stalin
We fear death, we shudder at life's instability, we grieve to see the flowers wilt again and again, and the leaves fall, and in our hearts we know that we, too, are transitory and will soon disappear. When artists create pictures and thinkers search for laws and formulate thoughts, it is in order to salvage something from the great dance of death, to make something last longer than we do. Herman Hesse
If death itself were to die, would it have a ghost, and would the ghost of death visit the dead in the guise of someone alive, if only to fright them from any temptation to return? William Gass
Woody Allen quote: "The difference between sex and death is that with death you..."
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. Woody Allen
Time and space were, from Death's point of view, merely things that he'd heard described. When it came to Death, they ticked the box marked Not Applicable. It might help to think of the universe as a rubber sheet, or perhaps not. Terry Prachett
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat. Jose Saramago
I like spring, but it is too young. I like summer, but it is too proud. So I like best of all autumn, because its leaves are a little yellow, its tone mellower, its colours richer, and it is tinged a little with sorrow and a premonition of death. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor of the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and is content. From a knowledge of those limitations and its richness... Lin Yutang
I know [Umbridge] by reputation and I'm sure she's no Death Eater-"She's foul enough to be one..."Yes, but the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. J. K. Rowling
Julian Barnes quote: "Life versus Death becomes, as Montaigne pointed out, Old Age..."
Life versus Death becomes, as Montaigne pointed out, Old Age versus Death. Julian Barnes
How sweet is the assurance, how comforting is the peace that come from the knowledge that if we marry right and live right, our relationship will continue, notwithstanding the certainty of death and the passage of time. Men may write love songs and sing them. They may yearn and hope and dream. But all of this will be only a romantic longing unless there is an exercise of authority that transcends the powers of time and death. Gordon B. Hinckley
