Quotes About Death

A warrior, or any man for that matter, cannot possibly wish he were somewhere else; a warrior because he lives by challenge, an ordinary man because he doesn't know where his death is going to find him.

A warrior considers himself already dead, so there is nothing to lose. The worst has already happened to him, therefore he's clear and calm; judging him by his acts or by his words, one would never suspect that he has witnessed everything.

I asked him if each of the two spots had a special name. He said that the good one was called the sitio and the bad one the enemy; he said these two places were the key to a man's wellbeing, especially for a man who was pursuing knowledge. The sheer act of sitting on one's spot created superior strength; on the other hand, the enemy weakened a man and could even cause his death. He said I had replenished my energy, which I had spent lavishly the night before, by taking a nap on my spot.

But I couldn't absorb the idea that death could actually walk by my side, with a human face and a heart that was poisoned with hatred, that death could be dressed in a uniform or a raincoat, queue up at a cinema, laugh in bars, or take his children out for a walk to Ciudadela Park in the morning, and then, in the afternoon, make someone disappear in the dungeons of Monjuïc Castle or in a common grave with no name or ceremony.

Our world will not die as the result of the bomb, as the papers say, it will die of laughter, of banality, or making a joke of everything, and a lousy joke at that.

All true stories begin and end in a cemetery.

Death does that: it makes everyone feel sentimental. When we stand in front of a coffin, we all see only what is good or what we want to see.

Old age is the lubricant of belief. When death knocks at the door, skepticism flies out the window. A serious cardiovascular fright and a person will even believe in Little Red Riding Hood.

Los muertos nunca acuden a su propio entierro.

It is part of our nature to survive. Faith is an instinctive response to aspects of existence that we cannot explain by any other means - be it the moral void we perceive in the universe, the certainty of death, the mystery of the origin of things, the meaning of our own lives or the absence of meaning.

The dead never go to their own funeral.

Nothing in life can be understood until you understand death.

Don't say another word. If you think you're the only person for whom life is painful, you're wrong. And if you don't mind letting yourself die like a dog, at least have the decency to remember that there are those of us who do care- although, to tell the truth, I don't see why.

Ovaj svijet ne?e uništiti atomska bomba, kao što kažu novine, nego ?e umrijeti od smijeha, od banalnosti, od ismijavanja svega, i zato što ?e od svega praviti vic, i to loš vic.

She'll live. I've already seen her return from among the dead once before, and those who learn the trick never forget it. I speak from experience. To return from the dead is a bit like riding a bike, or unfastening a girl's bra with a single hand. It's all a question of getting the knack.

The day I charge an unbeliever like you for the word of God will be the day I'm struck dead by lightning, and with good reason.

The territory of humans is life, said the doctor. Death does not belong to us

El territorio de los seres humanos es la vida. La muerte no nos pertenece.

?ovjek ne može shvatiti ništa u životu dok ne shvati smrt.

La muerte tiene estas cosas: a todo el mundo le despierta la sesiblería. Frente a un ataúd, todos vemos sólo lo bueno o lo que queremos ver.

No es pot entendre res de la vida fins que un no entén la mort.
