a few words to hear, from those great men and women who have the mind to draw up such great words; to draw an image in the wake of a sentence, and to smile at the sound of a dying word.....

The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death

We all labor against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases

A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic

Never chase a lie. Let it alone, and it will run itself to death

We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

It's not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us; it's the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal

Even at our birth, death does but stand aside a little. And every day he looks towards us and muses somewhat to himself whether that day or the next he will draw nigh.

Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile

Bereavement is a darkness impenetrable to the imagination of the unbereaved.

Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple...Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

Science says: We must live, and seeks the means of prolonging, increasing, facilitating and amplifying life, of making it tolerable and acceptable, wisdom says: We must die, and seeks how to make us die well

All say, How hard it is that we have to die - a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.

I'm not afraid of death. It's the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.

All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.

To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me. The Carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality .
