Death, A punishment to some, to some a gift, and to many a favor.

Seneca

It costs me never a stab nor squirm
To tread by chance upon a worm.
'Aha, my little dear,' I say,
'Your clan will pay me back one day.'

Dorothy Parker

The first breath is the beginning of death.

Thomas Fuller

A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.

Joseph Stalin

And come he slow or come he fast, it is but Death who come-eth at last.

Sir Walter Scott

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, that myth is more potent that history, dreams are more powerful than facts, that laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death
From The Crow

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

Jack Lemmon

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome

Isaac Asimov

It's not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us; it's the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.

Virginia Woolf

Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them.

Ed Howe
