Man is born in a day, and he dies in a day, and the thing is easily over; but to have a sick heart for three-fourths of one's lifetime is simply to have death renewed every morning; and life at that price is not worth living.
Gilbert Parker

Men always do leave off really thinking, when the last bit of wild animal dies in them.
David Herbert Lawrence

Most people die before they are fully born. Creativeness means to be born before one dies.
Erich Fromm

My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.
Robert Bresson

No hero is mortal till he dies.
W. H. Auden

Nothing ever quite dies, it just comes back in a different form.
Lester Bangs

Nothing that is really good and God-like dies.
Ernst Moritz Arndt

Nothing that was worthy in the past departs; no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die.

Once in a century a man may be ruined or made insufferable by praise. But surely once in a minute something generous dies for want of it.
John Masefield

Alfred Eisenstaedt

One always dies too soon or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than you life.
Jean-Paul Sartre

One is still what one is going to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One lives one's death, one dies one's life.
Jean-Paul Sartre

One of the reasons why when Elvis dies or the Son of Sam is captured ABC News' ratings go up is because people who don't normally watch news are watching then. The question is, do you want to attract people who don't watch network news or fight over the people who do?
Roone Arledge

One way an author dies a little each day is when his books go out of print.
William Goldman

Our faith in the present dies out long before our faith in the future.
Ruth Benedict

Pain dies quickly, and lets her weary prisoners go; the fiercest agonies have shortest reign.
William C. Bryant

People want the right to die at a time of their own choosing. Too many families have watched helplessly as a relative dies slowly, longing for death.
Polly Toynbee

Plants that wake when others sleep. Timid jasmine buds that keep their fragrance to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let the delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about.
Thomas Moore

Postfix keeps running even if one Postfix process dies; Windows requires that someone restarts the service.
