Henry RollinsEating, drinking, dying - three primary manifestations of the universal and impersonal life. Animals live that impersonal and universal life without knowing its nature. Ordinary people know its nature but don't live it and, if they think seriously about it, refuse to accept it. An enlightened person knows it, lives it, and accepts it completely. He eats, he drinks, and in due course he dies - but he eats with a difference, drinks with a difference, dies with a difference.
Aldous HuxleyLove never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source.
Anais NinLife cannot be cut off quickly. One cannot be dead until the things he changed are dead. His effect is the only evidence of his life. While there remains even a plaintive memory, a person cannot be cut off, dead. And he thought, โItโs a long slow process for a human to die. We kill a cow, and it is dead as soon as the meat is eaten, but a manโs life dies as a commotion in a still pool dies, in little waves, spreading and growing back toward stillness.
John SteinbeckIf we knew as much about heaven as God does, we would clap our hands every time a Christian dies.
George MacDonaldScience has done absolutely nothing about noise. The worst design flaw in the human body is that you can't close your ears. The reason you can't close your ears is, if a lion was coming, you had to wake up. Today no lions are coming. Beeping trucks are coming. I read the other day that the guy who invented the beep when trucks go backward, he died. I thought: Of course - he dies, I have to listen to it.

Mary Augusta WardNothing divine dies. All good is eternally reproductive. The beauty of Nature re-forms itself in the mind, and not for barren contemplation, but for new creation.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThere is no Christian Gospel if history simply unwinds into a meaningless puddle, if the cosmos simply escapes into a cataclysmic black hole, or if the universe finally dies of exhausted energy. Without belief in a biblical eschatology, there is no Christian hope. Without a sense of perfect moral judgment in the end, the human heart is homeless.
Albert MohlerA lizard in the spring - hear his darling sing. A bird with wings to fly - go back to his darling weep and moan till he dies. A mole in the ground - root a mountain down.

Reginald HeberMann is widely recognized as a master of irony and ambiguity, yet it's remarkable how quickly people foreclose options he carefully leaves open.

Jarnail Singh BhindranwaleThe end of the story of Batman is he's dead. Because, in the end, the Batman dies. What else am I going to do? Retire and play golf? It doesn't work that way. It can't. I fight until I drop. And one day, I will drop.

Bryan Lee O'MalleyNever underestimate a populist. We have come to a moment where language is very important.

If you don't take an active role in what is going on, somebody can easily steal it from you.
Edgar RamirezIt's like having a pet dog for a long time. You get attached to it, and when it dies you miss it.

Mary Carolyn DaviesOnce in a while, when I'm alone, I think about my age. I think, How many more years do I have on this earth? But I can't really conceive of dying.

Don Rickles
