– Jeanne Moreau
More quotes by Jeanne Moreau

– John Steinbeck
More quotes by John Steinbeck
It more or less has the shape of a love song, but 'Crescent Moon' reflects more my longing for an ancient romantic context that includes wild animals, fire, danger of death, stellar navigation, and seasonal intuition.
– Frank Black
More quotes by Frank Black

– Gertrude Stein
More quotes by Gertrude Stein

– Donald Cargill

– Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
More quotes by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

– Albert Einstein
More quotes by Albert Einstein

More quotes by Paul Gillmor
In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day, and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.

– Dag Hammarskjold
More quotes by Dag Hammarskjold
In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper.
– Terry Pratchett
More quotes by Terry Pratchett
In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.

– Damien Hirst
More quotes by Damien Hirst
In almost every interview someone asks what does HIM stand for. I can't even remember our latest lie about that. When Hanson was hot, we said it means Hanson Is Murder. The name doesn't have a particular history. His Infernal Majesty was a totally different band. I think HIM derives from some death metal joke.
– Ville Valo
More quotes by Ville Valo
If you wish to make a man look noble, your best course is to kill him. What superiority he may have inherited from his race, what superiority nature may have personally gifted him with, comes out in death.
– Alexander Smith
More quotes by Alexander Smith
If you think aficionados of a living Constitution want to bring you flexibility, think again. You think the death penalty is a good idea? Persuade your fellow citizens to adopt it. You want a right to abortion? Persuade your fellow citizens and enact it. That's flexibility.
– Antonin Scalia
More quotes by Antonin Scalia
If you make every game a life and death proposition, you're going to have problems. For one thing, you'll be dead a lot.
– Dean Smith
More quotes by Dean Smith
If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it's life or death.
– Morgan Freeman
More quotes by Morgan Freeman
If you have only one passion in life - football - and you pursue it to the exclusion of everything else, it becomes very dangerous. When you stop doing this activity it is as though you are dying. The death of that activity is a death in itself.

– Tupac Shakur
More quotes by Tupac Shakur
If what you do is being threatened as a profession, that could be scary. But that's the same reason why I walked out on stage many times after receiving death threats. I couldn't live without doing what I wanted to do. So at the same time I have to be willing to die for it.
– Marilyn Manson
More quotes by Marilyn Manson

– J. B. Priestley
More quotes by J. B. Priestley

– Maya Lin
More quotes by Maya Lin
If the human condition were the periodic table, maybe love would be hydrogen at No. 1. Death would be helium at No. 2. Power, I reckon, would be where oxygen is.
– David Mitchell
More quotes by David Mitchell

– Samuel Butler
More quotes by Samuel Butler
If efforts to do social work are couched in selfish motives, then they will die a premature death. Why would my efforts get politicised? I have values I inherited from my father. He helped many. Anyone, even a postman knocking on our door would get a glass of water and some sweets.
– Sachin Tendulkar
More quotes by Sachin Tendulkar
If death is in the room, it's pretty interesting. But I would also say that I'm interested in getting myself to believe that it's going to happen to me. I'm interested in it, because if you're not, you're nuts. It's really de facto what we're here to find out about.
– George Saunders
More quotes by George Saunders

More quotes by Jack Kevorkian

– Sam Snead
More quotes by Sam Snead

– John Elway
More quotes by John Elway
I'm very comfortable with the nature of life and death, and that we come to an end. What's most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever.
– Hugh Hefner
More quotes by Hugh Hefner
I'm trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities, and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.
– Jack Kevorkian
More quotes by Jack Kevorkian
I'm sick to death of famous people standing up and using their celebrity to promote a cause. If I see a particular need, I do try to help. But there's a lot that can be achieved by putting a check in the right place and shutting up about it.
– Russell Crowe
More quotes by Russell Crowe
I'm possibly a very morbid person but I think about death a lot.
– Daniel Radcliffe
More quotes by Daniel Radcliffe
I'm one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you're doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.
– Anthony Hopkins
More quotes by Anthony Hopkins
I'm not supposed to be able to speak clearly, and decipher what's going on in the media. I'm supposed to be the typical amateur who's 22 and scared to death and can't believe he won the Olympics.
– Carl Lewis
More quotes by Carl Lewis
I'm not on the run from anything and I'm not at all clear about what I'm running towards. But as some great writer put it, I want to be certain that when I arrive at death, I'm totally exhausted.
