If one is afraid to die, then one is also afraid to live.  For those who die in doing things, do things worth living for.
Adam Coulter Quotes

The happiness of the drop is to die in the river.
Al-Ghazali Quotes

I do not wish to die -
There is such contingent beauty in life:
The open window on summer mornings
Looking out on gardens and green things growing,
The shadowy cups of rose flowering to themselves-
Images of time and eternity-
Silence in the garden and felt along the walls.
The room is suddenly filled with sun,
Like a sacrament one can never be
Sufficiently thankful for. Door ajar,
The eye reaches across from one
Open window to another, eye to eye,
And then the healing spaces of the sky ......
Alfred Leslie Rowse Quotes

People living deeply have no fear of death.
Anais Nin Quotes

Good men must die, but death cannot kill their names.
Bible Quotes

Old age isn’t so bad when you consider the alternative.
Cato Quotes

If you don't think every day is a good day, just try missing one.
Cavett Robert Quotes

Eternity is not something that begins after you're dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman Quotes

Everything dies.  The point is to die in a state of grace.
Christina Dodd Quotes

There are certain people whom one feels almost inclined to urge to hurry up and die so that their letters can be published.
Christopher Morley Quotes

Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean.
David Searls Quotes

Life is a sexually transmitted terminal disease.   
Elizabeth Kougianos Quotes

Animals lack a symbolic identity and the self-consciousness that goes with it. They merely act and move reflexively as they are driven by their instincts. If they pause at all, it is only a physical pause; inside they are anonymous, and even their faces have no name. They live in a world without time, pulsating, as it were, in a state of dumb being... The knowledge of death is reflective and conceptual, and animals are spared it. They live and they disappear with the same thoughtlessness: a few minutes of fear, a few seconds of anguish, and it is over. But to live a whole lifetime with the fate of death haunting one's dreams and even the most sun-filled days -- that's something else.
Ernest Becker Quotes

She made a little shadow-hidden grave,
 The day Faith died;
 Therein she laid it, heard the clod's sick fall,
 And smiled aside-
 "If less I ask," tear-blind, she mocked, "I may
 Be less denied.
 She set a rose to blossom in her hair,
 The day Faith died -
 "Now glad," she said, "and free at last, I go,
 And life is wide."
 But through long nights she stared into the dark,
 And knew she lied.
  Fannie Heaslip Lea Quotes, 'Dead Faith'

Life flowing on around the old woman moved outside so she could die with her sacred mountains forming her last horizon.
James A. Hetley Quotes

We are born alone and we die alone.
