Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state.

They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then they will have my dead body, but not my obedience.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty or democracy?

After death, life reappears in a different form and with different laws. It is inscribed in the laws of the permanence of life on the surface of the earth and everything that has been a plant and an animal will be destroyed and transformed into a gaseous, volatile and mineral substance.

I haven't died in a movie in a while,'The Departed,' 'Body of Lies,' 'Revolutionary Road,' 'Shutter Island' and 'Inception.' I guess I did die in 'The Departed.'

Live like someone died for you.

I think success is being exactly who God called us to be and fighting to your death to live that out.

I'm a walking, talking enigma. We're a dying breed.

There is no color line in death.

Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry-- I'll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die.

Life is for the living. Death is for the dead. Let life be like music. And death a note unsaid.

My friends joke that I’m dead until I get onstage. I’m dead right now as you’re speaking to me.

"The bounties of space, of infinite outwardness, were three: empty heroics, low comedy, and pointless death."

"Until you die .. it's all life."

“It’s so sad because waiting for validation will be the death of your dreams.” 

“Hesitation is the kiss of death. You might hesitate for a just nanosecond, but that’s all it takes. That one small hesitation triggers a mental system that’s designed to stop you. And it happens in less than—you guessed it—five seconds.” 

Death isn't the end, it's the beginning.

You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One's aim in life should be to die in good health. Just like a candle that burns out.

As long as you don't make waves, ripples, life seems easy. But that's condemning yourself to impotence and death before you are dead.

Absolute silence leads to sadness. It is the image of death.

"Early to rise and early to bed makes a male healthy, wealthy, and dead."

"Never give up, never slow down, never grow old and never ever die young."

"I'm afraid of sudden death. I'd like to know I'm going to die. That's why death row wouldn't be so bad, although it's not pleasant. And cancer, inoperable, wouldn't be bad. That's not pleasant either. But to drop dead suddenly, it's hard on everybody else. My family, my relatives, my friends. It's just not a good way to go. I want to know I'm going to die."

"Well, let's take what people think is a dignified death. Christ - was that a dignified death? Do you think it's dignified to hang from wood with nails through your hands and feet bleeding, hang for three or four days slowly dying, with people jabbing spears into your side, and people jeering you? Do you think that's dignified? Not by a long shot. Had Christ died in my van with people around Him who loved Him, the way it was, it would be far more dignified. In my rusty van."
