Die

Famous quotes containing the word die:

“To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death freely chosen, death at the right time, brightly and cheerfully accomplished amid children and witnesses: then a real farewell is still possible, as the one who is taking leave is still there; also a real estimate of what one has wished, drawing the sum of one’s life—all in opposition to the wretched and revolting comedy that Christianity has made of the hour of death.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“To die whole,
riddled with nothing
but desire for it,
is like breakfast
after love.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“We may die today, we may die tomorrow,
so why worry about this death?”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
