"Time flies, death urges, knells call, Heaven invites, Hell threatens." -Edward Young
Death, in itself, is nothing; but we fear, To be we know not what, we know not where. JOHN DRYDEN, Aureng-Zebe
"Sleep, Those little slices of Death How I loathe them." -Edgar Allen Poe
“His wings are gray and trailing, Azrael, Angel of Death, And yet the souls that Azrael brings Across the dark and cold, Look up beneath those folded wings, And find them lined with gold” -Robert Gilbert Welsh
"Because I could not stop for Death -- He kindly stopped for me -- The carriage held but just ourselves And immortality." -Emily Dickinson, Because I Could Not Stop For Death
"I'm so happy dancing while the grim reaper cuts, cuts, cuts, but he can't get me. I'm as clever as can be, and I'm very quick but don't forget;we've only got so many tricks.no one lives forever." -Danny Elfman
The first breath is the beginning of death.-Thomas Fuller
Death is one of two things. Either it is annihilation, and the dead have no consciousness of anything; or, as we are told, it is really a change: a migration of the soul from one place to another.-Socrates
Tomorrow we shall meet, Death and I -. And he shall thrust his sword Into one who is wide awake. -Dag Hammarskjold, Markings, p. 31
Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly. -Jean Baudrillard
"Death is the king of this world: 'tis his park Where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain Are music for his banquet." -George Eliot
"'T is strange that death should sing. I am the cygnet to this pale faint swan, Who chants a doleful hymn to his own death, And from the organ-pipe of frailty sings His soul and body to their lasting rest." -William Shakespeare
The first breath is the beginning of death. -Thomas Fuller
What is Death, so it be but glorious? 'Tis a sunset; And mortals may be happy to resemble The Gods but in decay. LORD BYRON
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for, thou art not so, For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow, Die not, poor death. JOHN DONNE
Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life. -Thomas Merton
Death belongs to God alone. By what right do men touchthat unknown thing? -Victor Hugo
"Beauty is but a flower, Which wrinkles will devour; Brightness falls from the air; Queens have died young and fair; Dust hath closed Helen's eye. I am sick, I must die; Lord have mercy on us." -Thomas Nash, Song in Time of Pestilence
If the radiance of a thousand suns Were to burst at once into the sky That would be like the splendor of the Mighty one -- I am become Death, The shatterer of Worlds." -Bhagavad Gita
If it all be for naught, for nothingness at last, Why does God make the world so fair? Why spill this golden splendor out across the western hills, And light the silver lamp of eve? Why give me eyes to see, and soul to love so strong and deep? Then, with a pang this brightness stabs me through, And wakes within rebellious voice to cry against all death? Why set this hunger for eternity to gnaw my heartstrings through, If death ends all? If death ends all, then evil must be good, Wrong must be right, and beauty ugliness. God is Judas who betrays His Son, And with a kiss, damns all the world to Hell, -- If Christ rose not again. -Anon.
Death, the most dreaded of all evils, is therefore of no concern to us; for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist. -Epicurus
"Through me you pass into the city of woe: Through me you pass into eternal pain: Through me among the people lost for aye. Justice the founder of my fabric moved: To rear me was the task of power divine, Supremest wisdom, and primeval love. Before me things create were none, save things Eternal, and eternal I shall endure. All hope abandon, ye who enter here." -Dante Alighieri, Divine Comedy, The
"For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he pass'd; And the eyes of the sleepers wax'd deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!" -Lord (George Gordon) Byron, Destruction of Sennacherib, The
Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing. We are sentenced to die the day we're born." -Gary Mark Gilmore
One night awaits all, and death's path must be trodden once and for all. -Horace, Odes
All are equal Death lays his icy hand on kings: Sceptre and crown Must tumble down, And in the dust be equal made With the poor crooked scythe and spade. -James Shirley, Death the Leveller
He who has a mistaken idea of life, will always have a mistaken idea of death. -Leo Tolstoy
If Satan exists, and if he is clever at promoting Evil, then would he not agitate one section of mankind to go to war with an another - both believing God was on their side? -Stephen Paul Lather
If man were immortal he could be perfectly sure of seeing the day when everything in which he had trusted should betray his trust, and, in short, of coming eventually to hopeless misery. He would break down, at last, as every good fortune, as every dynasty, as every civilization does. In place of this we have death. -Charles Sanders Pierce
The glories of our blood and state Are shadows, not substantial things; There is no armour against fate; Death lays his icy hands on kings. -James Shirley,
My life closed twice before its close; It yet remains to see If Immortality unveil A third event to me, So huge, so hopeless to conceive, As these that twice befell. Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell. -Emily Dickinson
Death As a dark Shadow Beckons his prey Into the unknown By a soft whisper In the soul -CINDY CHENEY "Death"
Death makes angels of us all & gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as raven's claws JIM MORRISON
Death and life were not Till man made up the whole Made lock, stock, and barrel Out of his bitter soul. -WB Yeats
“Everyone knows that time is Death, that Death hides in clocks. Imposing another time powered by the Clock of the Imagination, however, can refuse his law. Here, freed of the Grim Reaper's scythe, we learn that pain is knowledge and all knowledge pain.” -Federico Fellini
Everyone has a common faith, that faith is death. -Anon.
Men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other. -Francis Bacon
