Death isn’t anything anyone wants to think about, yet it is part of living this life.This "phase" of live is the harsh awakening of what we are destined for, what we should be living for.
Death is a natural cycle of live, but yet it can be so heart-wrenchingly devastating, when you loose someone you love.
I think it is so important to love without conditions and to be thankful for all the beautiful people we are blessed with in our lives. Make everyday count, with the people who really matter in your life.
The following deathquotes addresses this reality. They were either written or verbal quotes and they are quotes that survive even after the person who said the words are no longer on this earth.
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.
1 Corinthians 2:9
Helen Keller lived a life tucked away by darkness but she chose to live out loud nonetheless. She said of death,
Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room, I shall be able to see.
Many suspect Ms. Keller is indeed now able to see.
Martin Luther King, Jr. said,
A man who won’t die for something is not fit to live.
Martin Luther King was certainly fit to live yet he had to die for something larger than even he could imagine.
Albert Pike had this to say about death,
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
Stewart Alsop said of death,
A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless to resist.
This is the cold reality of death or so it would seem.
Jack Cleary expressed his fear of death in a very clear way. He said,
I’m not afraid of death but dying scares the hell out of me.
Most people would share the same sentiments.
Mark Twain had a bit of humor when he discussed death. He said,
I didn’t attend the funeral but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Would this be true? Or could it be that depending upon ones own beliefs of life after death would play some part? Could it be those who don’t fear death, do not fear because they know a better life lies ahead on the other side?
Tennessee Williams had this to say about death,
Time rushes towards us with its hospital tray of infinitely varied narcotics, even while it is preparing us for its inevitably fatal operation.
