[on his death bed] - Ludwig Van Beethoven Cause at the end of the day, honestly, at the end of the day when you're in your death bed and that's it, I think it's the relationships you've had and the people that you've touched and the people that have touched you that matter. - Julie Benz And will 'a not come again? And will 'a not come again? No, no, he is dead, Go to thy death bed: He will never come again. - William Shakespeare There are two words that you should use frequently in your youth: 'sorry' and 'thank-you'.

Rabbits live close to death and when death comes closer than usual, thinking about survival leaves little room for anything else. - Richard Adams We musn't forget old people with their rotten bodies, old people who are so close to death, something that young people don't want to think about. We musn't forget that our bodies decline, friends die, everyone forgets about us, and the end is solitude. Nor must we forget that these old people were young once, that a lifespan is pathetically short, that one day you're twenty and the next day you're eighty. - Muriel Barbery What the meat industry figured out is that you don't need healthy animals to make a profit. Sick animals are more profitable... Factory farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model.

My name is Cassie Palmer and I've cheated death more times than anyone has a right to expect. In the last two months, I've been shot, stabbed, beaten and blown up a few dozen times, and that doesn't count all the magical ways I've almost been killed.

I'd have been a lot more appreciative if he hadn't pushed me first. - Karen Chance Jesus Christwho, as it turns out, was born of a virgin, cheated death, and rose bodily into the heavenscan now be eaten in the form of a cracker - Sam Harris

Personally, I always wondered about authors and celebrities who loudly declared there was no God. It was usually when they were healthy and popular and being listened to by crowds.

If suddenly, in their last gasping moments, through fear, a vision, a late enlightenment, they change their minds about God, who would know? - Mitch Albom In my despair I remember that there is life after death; there is life after death and I have no problem.

He felt the vague pain in his chest. If I run, he thought, what will happen? Is Death important? No. Everything that happens before Death is what counts. And we've done fine tonight. Even Death can't spoil it. - Ray Bradbury Eve...

He was, strangely perhaps, against the death penalty, and he was never put in prison for murders or anything like that. - Philip Kaufman Personally I am very much against the death penalty for several reasons. - Alan Parker I had concluded when I was the prosecutor that I would vote against the death penalty if I were in the legislature but that I could ask for it when I was satisfied as to guilt. - Janet Reno

And therefore I am grateful to God for giving me this gift, this possibility of developing myself and of writing, of expressing all that is in me. - Anne Frank I don't want to have lived in vain like most people.

In the great debate that has raged for centuries about what, if anything, happens to you after death, be it heaven, hell, purgatory or extinction, one thing has never been in doubt - that you would at least know the answer when you were dead. - Douglas Adams So then, what do you believe in?

But at least after death you're not nauseous. - Woody Allen Silence before being born, silence after death: life is nothing but noise between two unfathomable silences. - Isabel Allende I should not have had that fear of death when I wished for it all the same. The unhappiness that I need and long for is different. It is of the kind that will let me suffer with eagerness and lust after death. That is the unhappiness, or happiness, that I am waiting for. - Hermann Hesse No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. - Plato The question of what we are can only be answered by ourselves. We each decide what we are by t...

Death's afraid of me. - Lee Child I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens. - Woody Allen To be afraid of death is only another form of thinking that one is wise when one is not; it is to think that one knows what one does not know. No one knows with regard to death wheather it is not really the greatest blessing that can happen to man; but people dread it as though they were certain it is the greatest evil. -The Last Days of Socrates - Plato dont be afraid of death, be afraid of the unlived life. - Natalie Babbitt Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life.

There is something about this generation living now, that we don't accept death. - Elena Anaya One might accept death reasoningly, with every aspect of the conscious mind, but the body was a brute beast that knew nothing of reason. - Isaac Asimov Every time people come at us with the intention of killing us, I close my eyes and wait for death.

It will be quieter than I am. - Ishmael Beah Why did I accept death? But I will ask, what use was life to me after that revolver had been raised against me by the being I adored? - Fyodor Dostoyevsky When you have dogs, you witness their uncomplaining acceptance of suffering, their bright desire to make the most of life in spite of the limitations of age and disease, their calm awareness of the approaching end when their final hours come.
