Life Or Death Quotes

Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death. Jean Cocteau
It was from an old friend who thought he was dying. Anyway, he said, 'Life and death issues don't come along that often, thank God, so don't treat everything like it's life or death. Go easier.' Thomas Arnold
Psychologically, the choice "to think or not" is the choice "to focus or not." Existentially, the choice "to focus or not" is the choice "to be conscious or not." Metaphysically, the choice "to be conscious or not" is the choice of life or death. Ayn Rand
Creation, whether it's writing, painting or whatever, is essentially despotic and autocratic in nature, because it's the work of one mind and one mind alone which has absolute power of life or death over this sentence, or that phrase or whatever it is. It brooks no interference and can only work if it's the one mind doing it. Reading, on the other hand, interpretation, is inherently, intrinsically democratic, because it is fundamentally a process of negotiation between the mind and the text,... Philip Pullman
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
It is not for me to pass judgement on those prisoners who put their own people above everyone else. Who can throw a stone at a man who favors his friends under circumstances when, sooner or later, it is a question of life or death? No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same". Viktor E. Frankl
You can never be really sure of how much you believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life or death to you. C. S. Lewis
Providing patients and consumers with solid information on the cost and quality of their healthcare options can literally make the difference between life or death; and play a decisive role in whether a family or employer can afford healthcare. Tim Murphy
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "But I am the real Strider, fortunately. I am Aragorn son of..."
But I am the real Strider, fortunately. I am Aragorn son of Arathorn; and if by life or death I can save you, I will. J. R. R. Tolkien
Henry David Thoreau quote: "Be it life or death, we crave only reality."
Be it life or death, we crave only reality. Henry David Thoreau
Be it life or death, we crave only reality. If we are really dying, let us hear the rattle in our throats and feel the cold in the extremities; if we are alive, let us go about our business. Henry David Thoreau
Our emotions are different but we have them. We never cast a cold eye on life or death. Don't misunderstand our seeming serenity. After all, we live in a world of perfect trust in The Maker, and we are keenly aware that humans often do not, and we feel an active sorrow for them. Anne Rice
That is why embittered people find heroes and madmen a perennial source of fascination, for they have no fear of life or death. Both heroes and madmen are indifferent to danger and will forge ahead regardless of what other people say. Paulo Coelho
Richard Wilbur quote: "It is always a matter, my darling, Of life or death, as I had..."
It is always a matter, my darling, Of life or death, as I had forgotten. I wish. What I wished you before, but harder. Richard Wilbur
Duffy Daugherty quote: "When your are playing for the national championship, it's not..."
When your are playing for the national championship, it's not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that. Duffy Daugherty
