  • Dying Quote #1

    All who are born are always dying.

    Mitch Albom

  • Dying Quote #2

    Am I ever angry or frustrated? I only feel angry sometimes when I see waste, when things that we waste are what people need, things that would save them from dying. Frustrated? No, never.

    Mother Teresa
  • Dying Quote #3

    Amid all that blood of the dying sun, the verde was still alive.

    Alaya Dawn Johnson
  • Dying Quote #4

    An African who loses the ability to die with dignity is a lost man.

    Henning Mankell
  • Dying Quote #5

    And all the while one spirit uttered this,
    The other one did weep so, that, for pity,
    I swooned away as if I had been dying,

    And fell, even as a dead body falls.

    Dante Alighieri
  • Dying Quote #6

    And all the winds go sighing,
    For sweet things dying

    Christina Rossetti
  • Dying Quote #7

    And as if he had read her thoughts, the old man murmured, 'What a blessing it is to die in your own bed, under your own roof, with your family surrounding you, full of the knowledge that you have lived as thoroughly as you wanted to.

    Anita Rau Badami
  • Dying Quote #8

    And he's alone there, with the unconscious pilot lying a little way off for company, and some other guy he's never even seen, only spoken to over the radio.

    He wants to sleep so badly - dying they call it - and he can't. Something's bothering him to keep him awake. (Jane Brown's Body)

    Cornell Woolrich
  • Dying Quote #9

    And if the worst, or best, happens, and Death comes for you in the snow, he comes disguised as Sleep, and you greet him rather as a welcome friend than a gruesome foe.

    Apsley CherryGarrard
  • Dying Quote #10

    And sometimes we die to prove that we lived.

    Fábio Moon
  • Dying Quote #11

    And then we ease him out of that worn-out body with a kiss, and he's gone like a whisper, the easiest breath.

    Mark Doty
  • Dying Quote #12

    And what cats have to tell
    on each return from hell
    is this: that dying is what the living do,
    that dying is what the loving do,
    and that dead dogs are those who do not know
    that dying is what, to live, each has to do.

    Alastair Reid
  • Dying Quote #13

    Any time you are with anyone or think of anyone you must say to yourself: I am dying and this person too is dying, attempting the while to experience the truth of the words you are saying. If every one of you agrees to practice this, bitterness will die out, harmony will arise.

    Anthony de Mello
  • Dying Quote #14

    Are you afraid of dying?

    I was at first, maybe I still am a little bit. But it's not death that scares me so much as not being alive anymore. It's missing all the things that I would have seen if I hadn't gotten AIDS. Things like my daughter's graduation, her wedding, my grandchildren. I'll never see those things, and that makes me sad.

    Deanna Lynn Sletten
  • Dying Quote #15

    Aren't you afraid of dying?
    Not really. I've watched lots of good-for-nothing, worthless people die, and if people like that can do it, then I should be able to handle it.

    Haruki Murakami
  • Dying Quote #16

    As far as he could discover, there were no signs of spring. The decay that covered the surface of the mottled ground was not the kind in which life generates. Last year, he remembered, May had failed to quicken these soiled fields. It had taken all the brutality of July to torture a few green spikes through the exhausted dirt.
    What the little park needed, even more than he did, was a drink. Neither alcohol nor rain would do. Tomorrow, in his column, he would ask Broken-hearted, Sick-of-it-all, Desperate, Disillusioned-with-tubercular-husband and the rest of his correspondents to come here and water the soil with their tears. Flowers would then spring up, flowers that smelled of feet.
    Ah, humanity... But he was heavy with shadow and the joke went into a dying fall. He trist to break its fall by laughing at himself.

    Nathanael West
  • Dying Quote #17

    As long as they talk about you, you're not really dead, as long as they speak your name, you continue. A legend doesn't die, just because the man dies.

    Rod Serling
  • Dying Quote #18

    As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there You live on--in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here..... Death ends a life, not a relationship -Morrie Schwartz

    Mitch Albom from Tuesdays with Morrie
  • Dying Quote #19

    As you embrace Consciousness, you embrace Perfection.

    Tony Samara
  • Dying Quote #20

    At eighty-one years of age he had enough lucidity to realize that he was attached to this world by a few slender threads that could break painlessly with a simple change of position while he slept, and if he did all he could to keep those threads intact, it was because of his terror of not finding God in the darkness of death.

    Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez
  • Dying Quote #21

    At the end of the day your ability to connect with your readers comes down to how you make them feel.

    Benjamin J. Carey
  • Dying Quote #22

    At the last moment she thought, I'm not ready.
    But she already knew the answer to that.
    Nobody was ever ready.

    L.J. Smith
  • Dying Quote #23

    Be happy that after living so many lives, I finally found something to die for

    Stephenie Meyer
  • Dying Quote #24

    Because there was only one thing worse than dying. And that was knowing you were going to die. And where. And how. (“Death Ship”)

    Richard Matheson
  • Dying Quote #25

    Because through the heavy water, I heard the sound of an angel calling my name, calling me to the only heaven I wanted.

    Stephenie Meyer
  • Dying Quote #26

    Because we will die, but at least we will die unbroken

    Rick Yancey
  • Dying Quote #27

    Being dead does have its advantages.”-Alastor

    Dana Michelle Burnett
  • Dying Quote #28

    Believing in the possibility of resurrection and eternal life, Christians seek ‘redemption’ through moral behaviour. But moral behaviour does not, in itself, assuage fear of death, on the contrary, when people come to view themselves as marred by Sin, for instance because they are taught to believe that their most intimate feelings are sinful, this may increase significantly their anxiety about dying.

    Daniel Waterman
  • Dying Quote #29

    blue-gold sky, fresh cloud,
    emerald-black mountain, trees
    on rocky ledges,

    on the summit, the tiny pin
    of a telephone tower-all

    brilliantly clear,
    in shadow and out.

    and on and through
    everything
    everywhere
    the sun shines
    without reservation (p. 97)

    Barbara Blatner
  • Dying Quote #30

    Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.

    Dave Eggers
