I think about dying every day, because I can't stop thinking about living.
- Libba Bray
We now have a strong desire for living combined with a strange carelessness about dying. We desire life like water and yet are ready to drink death like wine.
- Gilbert K Chesterton
He had a massive stroke. He died with his tie on. Do you think that could be our generation's equivalent of that old saying about dying with your boots on?
- Stephen King
They can't hurt me. Sure, they can crush you and kill you. They can lay you out on 42nd and Broadway and put hoses on you and flush you in the sewers and put you on the subway and carry you out to Coney island and bury you on the Ferris wheel. But I refuse to sit here and worry about dying.
- Bob Dylan
You will die, and when you die, you will know a profound lack of it [dignity]. It's never dignified, always brutal. What's dignified about dying? It's never dignified. And in obscurity? Offensive. Dignity is an affectation, cute but eccentric, like learning French or collecting scarves. And it's fleeting and incredibly mercurial. And subjective. So fuck it.
- Dave Eggers
It's only Western civilization that, God forbid, you talk about dying, when it's the only thing we know for certain, right? Everyone's going to die, so what's the big problem? 'Oh, God. Don't talk about it. Don't think about it.' I mean, I'm one of them. I'm not a big fan of talking about dying.
- Abel Ferrara
I'm not a big fan of talking about dying. And then I make a movie where I kill everybody.
- Abel Ferrara
I can't stop thinking about dying the way humans do it. Imagine! If at any moment, you could just stop existing. How different everything would be.. They don't stop existing Lenia said...They have souls that live forever. Even knowing that, they fight so hard to stay alive. I think it's so beautiful. Imagine: being that fragile, that permanent.
- Carolyn Turgeon
And when I don't feel it, it's pointless.
Think about getting up it's pointless.
Think about eating it's pointless.
Think about dressing it's pointless.
Think about speaking it's pointless.
Think about dying only it's totally
fucking pointless.
- Sarah Kane
I thought about dying whenever I got bad news about other people.
- Jonah Lomu
I've never thought about dying, But dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go.
- Stephenie Meyer
...my Lolita remarked: "You know, what's so dreadful about dying is that you are completely on your own"; and it struck me, as my automaton knees went up and down, that I simply did not know a thing about my darling's mind and that quite possibly, behind the awful juvenile cliches, there was in her a garden and a twilight, and a palace gate - dim and adorable regions which happened to be lucidly and absolutely forbidden to me, in my polluted rags and miserable convulsions...
- Vladimir Nabokov

Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective.
- P J Orourke
I think about dying. I've come to realize we all die alone in one way or another.
- Richard Pryor
Fundamentally, all writing is about the same thing; it's about dying, about the brief flicker of time we have here, and the frustration that it creates.
- Mordecai Richler
I think about dying a lot, every time I fall asleep on a train or a plane I expect to wake up to a crash!
- Lee Ryan
Sometimes I think about dying. And then I wonder about going to hell. And then I think that if and when I go there, the place will be completely organized and run by lost souls, with a council and a works committee and an ethics panel, and I'll feel right at home.
- Charles Sheffield
Why should I be worried about dying? It's not going to happen in my lifetime!
- Raymond Smullyan
I bet the worst part about dying is the part where your whole life passes before you.
