My favorite quotes on death  | |  My favorite QUOTES ON DEATH
When the black and mortal blood of man has fallen to the ground ... who then can sing spells to call it back again?AESCHYLUS, Agamemnon
As is the generation of leaves, so is that of humanity. The wind scatters the leaves on the ground, but the live timber burgeons with leaves again in the season of spring returning. So one generation of men will grow while another dies.
HOMER, The Iliad
Incline not to arrogance, famous warrior! Now shall the fullness of thy strength last for a while. But soon after it shall be, that malady or sword shall cut thee off from power, or the embrace of fire or welling of a flood, or onset with the knife, or arrow's flight, or hideous old age. Or brightness of eyes shall diminish and grow dim, and at length it shall be that death shall overpower thee.
Beowulf
The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
HARRIET BEECHER STOWE, Little Foxes
It will startle you to see what slaves we are to by-gone times—to Death, if we give the matter the right word! ... We read in Dead Men’s books! We laugh at Dead Men’s jokes, and cry at Dead Men’s pathos! . . . Whatever we seek to do, of our own free motion, a Dead Man’s icy hand obstructs us!

I think this could easily have been broken up into three excellent discussions. I love Aeschylus! He also said something about death being a milder fate than tyranny.

| | 2.  bravenewworld (344) | 9 months ago |  I watched a movie the other day, "Paris, Je T'aime", and a character in it claimed that Oscar Wilde's quote on dying was "Either this wallpaper goes or I do". Don't know how accurate that is though. According to Wikipedia he said something like that a month before his death. Hilarious though.

| | 3.  HouseKat (638) | 9 months ago |  I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge-- myth is more potent than history-- dreams are more powerful than facts-- hope always triumphs over experience-- laughter is the cure for grief-- love is stronger than death. - Robert Fulghum
