Death Quotes Quotes

“His body felt empty, and he moved without moving, stepping outside of himself, watching from the shadows of his lodge as his spirit witnessing his physical self, kneeling, drawing a knife from his belt, and severing the cord binding the mother and child.”
― D.A. Vega, Like Wolves: Como Lobos

“If you want to know death -- die! That is the only way to know. If you want to know life -- live!' You are alive but not living, and you will die and you will not die... because everything is lukewarm in you. You live? -- not exactly; you just drag. Somehow, somehow you pull yourself along.
Live as intensely as possible! Burn your candle of life from both ends! Burn it so intensely... if it is finished in one second it is okay, but at least you will have known what it is. Only intensity penetrates. And if you can live an intense life you will have a different quality of death, because you will die intensely. As life is, so will the death be. If you live dragging, you will die dragging. You will miss life, and you will miss death also. Make life as intense as possible. Put everything at stake. Why worry? Why be worried about the future? THIS moment is there. Bring your total existence into it! Live intensely, totally, wholly, and this moment will become a revelation. And if you know life, you will know death.
This is the secret key: if you know life, you will know death. If you ask what death is, it
means you have not lived -- because deep down they are one.”
― Osho, And The Flowers Showered Discourses On Zen

“Death, the impartial force, teaches us that survival is a lottery we've won every day we wake up. With each loss, we are reminded that survival is the unexpected twist in the story of life. We all die in the end, as our characters dissolve into the shared narrative of humanity. In the quest for ultimate agency, we are confronted with the ultimate impossibility – to dictate the terms of our own end. The clock of existence ticks on relentlessly, while our desire to pause it at will remains a futile endeavor. Appreciate every moment...”
― Carson Anekeya

“The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.”
― Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Slaughterhouse-Five

“A man works on three things in

― Abushama Khan, Beyond Contemporary Minds

― J A Croome, The Sand People: a collection of magical realism and other stories
