It is necessary to meditate early, and often, on the art of dying to succeed later in doing it properly just once.
Umberto EcoTags: death-and-dying
Death never comes at the right time, despite what mortals believe. Death always comes like a thief.
Christopher PikeTags: death-and-dying
Are you afraid to die?
'Cause it scares the hell outta me,
And the end is all I can see,
And it scares the hell outta me,
That the end is all I can see.

If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.
Walt WhitmanTags: poetry death-and-dying
To fear death, gentlemen, is no other than to think oneself wise when one is not, to think one knows what one does not know. No one knows whether death may not be the greatest of all blessings for a man, yet men fear it as if they knew that it is the greatest of evils.
SocratesTags: death-and-dying fear-of-death
Of all the ways to lose a person, death is the kindest.
Ralph Waldo EmersonTags: loss death death-and-dying
I discovered the bleeding when he licked my hand and left a swath of blood behind, death's autograph.
Augusten BurroughsTags: death-and-dying
Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
Henry Scott HollandTags: inspirational death-and-dying
Dead, your Majesty. Dead, my lords and gentlemen. Dead, Right Reverends and Wrong Reverends of every order. Dead, men and women, born with Heavenly compassion in your hearts. And dying thus around us every day.
