Quotations by Subject: Death (86 quotes)

Results from Cole's Quotables:

Where life is more terrible than death, it is then the truest valor to dare to live.: Thomas Browne
Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile... initially scared me to death.: Betty Bender
The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual -- when it begins to ignore the passions, the motions -- it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.: Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904 - 1991), New York Times Magazine, Nov. 26, 1978
A free press can of course be good or bad, but, most certainly, without freedom it will never be anything but bad. . . . Freedom is nothing else but a chance to bet better, whereas enslavement is a certainty of the worse.: Albert Camus (1913 - 1960), Resistance, Rebellion and Death (1960)
When you don't have any money, the problem is food. When you have money, it's sex. When you have both, it's health. If everything is simply jake, then you're frightened of death.: J. P. Donleavy
Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.: William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), Julius Caesar

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

The Baptists believe in The Right to Life before you're born. They also believe in Life After Death, but that is a privilege and you have to earn it by spending the interim in guilt-ridden misery. At an early age I decided that living a life of pious misery in the hope of going to heaven when it's over is a lot like keeping your eyes shut all through a movie in the hope of getting your money back at the end.: A. Whitney Brown, "The Big Picture"
For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.: Charles Bukowski (1920 - 1994)
All the limitative Theorems of metamathematics and the theory of computation suggest that once the ability to represent your own structure has reached a certain critical point, that is the kiss of death: it guarantees that you can never represent yourself totally. Godel's Incompleteness Theorem, Church's Undecidability Theorem, Turing's Halting Problem, Turski's Truth Theorem-- all have the flavour of some ancient fairy tale which warns you that "To seek self- knowledge is to embark on a journey which . . . will always be incomplete, cannot be charted on a map, will never halt, cannot be described.": Douglas R. Hofstadter
Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.: Bertolt Brecht (1898 - 1956)
