Famous Quotes about death

William Shakespeare quote #84 from Romeo and Juliet

O hereWill I set up my everlasting restAnd shake the yoke of inauspicious starsFrom this world-wearied flesh. Eyes look your lastArms take your last embrace and lips O youThe doors of breath seal with a righteous kissA dateless bargain to engrossing death

Mitch Albom quote #121 from Have a Little Faith: a True Story

I used to think I knew everything. I was a smart person who got things done and because of that the higher I climbed the more I could look down and scoff at what seemed silly or simple even religion.But I realized something as I drove home that night that I am neither better nor smarter only luckier. And I should be ashamed of thinking I knew everything because you can know the whole world and still feel lost in it. So many people are in pain-no matter how smart or accomplished-they cry they yearn they hurt.But instead of looking down on things they look up which is where I should have been looking too. Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing we all want the same thingscomfort love and a peaceful heart.

George Eliot quote #119 from Adam Bede

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life--to strengthen each other in all labor to rest on each other in all sorrow to minister to each other in all pain to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting
