Dies Quotes (page 11)

To live simply to die is by no means amusing, but to live with the knowledge that you will die before your time, that's really is idiotic Anton Chekhov
time having transformed his own body into a storehouse for man-made contraptions designed to fend off collapse... there was only our bodies, born to live and die on terms decided by the bodies that had lived and died before us. Philip Roth
David Herbert Lawrence quote: "She would have thought a woman would have died of shame...."
She would have thought a woman would have died of shame. Instead of which, the shame died. David Herbert Lawrence
Humans needed water or they would die, but dirty water killed as surely as thirst. You had to boil it before you drank it. This culture around tea was a way of tiptoeing along the knife edge between those two ways of dying. Neal Stephenson
I will love you for ever, whatever happens. Till I die and after I die, and when I find my way out of the land of the dead I’ll drift about forever, all my atoms, till I find you again… Philip Pullman
Martin Amis quote: "In the Gulag, it was not the case that people died like flies...."
In the Gulag, it was not the case that people died like flies. Rather, flies died like people. Martin Amis
The city grows like a cancer; I must grow like a sun. The city eats deeper and deeper into the red; it is an insatiable white louse which must die eventually of inanition. I am going to starve the white louse which is eating me up. I am going to die as a city in order to become again a man. Therefore I close my ears, my eyes, my mouth. Henry Miller
So to be sick unto death is not to be able to die -- yet not as though there were hope of life; no, the hopelessness in this case is that even the last hope, death, is not available. When death is the greatest danger, one hopes for life; but when one becomes acquainted with an even more dreadful danger, one hopes for death. So when the danger is so great that death has become one's hope, despair is the disconsolateness of not being able to die. Soren Kierkegaard
Jose Rizal quote: "One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good..."
One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost and will not present itself again. Jose Rizal
Oscar Wilde quote: "[J]ene Entsagungen, die die Menschen alberner Weise Tugenden..."
[J]ene Entsagungen, die die Menschen alberner Weise Tugenden nennen [...] Oscar Wilde
Government today is growing too strong to be safe. There are no longer any citizens in the world there are only subjects. They work day in and day out for their masters they are bound to die for their masters at call. Out of this working and dying they tend to get less and less. H. L. Mencken
It is clear that men accept an immediate pain rather than an immediate pleasure, but only because they expect a greater pleasure in the future. Often the pleasure is illusory, but their error in calculation is no refutation of the rule. You are puzzled because you cannot get over the idea that pleasures are only of the sense; but, child, a man who dies for his country dies because he likes it as surely as a man eats pickled cabbage because he likes it. W. Somerset Maugham
I would rather throw myself out of the plane as it crosses the ocean. Since I cannot open the windows, I would die here. But before I die, I want to fight for life. If I can walk on my own, I can go wherever I like. Paulo Coelho
I was confident that I was a special person. But time slowly chips away at life. People don't just die when their time comes. They gradually die away, from the inside. And finally the day comes when you have to settle accounts. Nobody can escape it. People have to pay the price for what they've received. I have only just learned that truth. Haruki Murakami
I would have told her then she was the only thing that I could love in this dying world but the simple word "love" itself already died and went away. Marilyn Monroe
