Death Quotes from My Friends book by Fredrik Backman
- Everyone dies, of course, every single person, but very few get to understand that they're dying.
- Death is public but dying is private, the very last private thing we have.
- In life we might be enemies, but when faced with death, we see the truth: we are one species, all we have is each other, and where you go, I shall follow.
Death Quotes from Hamnet book by Maggie O'Farrell
- Anyone, who describes dying as 'slipping away' or 'peaceful' has never witnessed it happen. Death is violent, death is a struggle. The body clings to life, as ivy to a wall, and will not easily let go, will not surrender its grip without a fight.
- There is nothing after you die. There is the soil and there is the body and it all comes to nothing.
Other Death Quotes
- The secret of life is death. Everything is about death, you see. In essence. Our existence only makes sense because of it; it provides meaning to our narrative. Our direction of travel is always towards it. Our behaviour is either because we fear it, or because we choose to deny it. - The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman
- Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone. - A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
- It is curious how sometimes the memory of death lives on for so much longer than the memory of the life that it purloined. - The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
- The real enigma of life is not what happens after you die, but what happens before you die. If you want to understand death, you need to understand life. - 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari
- Dying was simply going to be an exercise in letting go of one thing after another. - Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano
- Death, it seems, does not like to wait until we are prepared for it. Death is indulgent and enjoys, when it can, a flair for the dramatic. - The World According to Garp by John Irving
- Death is the most important thing that is ever going to happen to you. When you look at your death and you acknowledge it, rather than running away from it, it'll bring great meaning to your life. We spend so much of our life trying to avoid death. So much of what we struggle for can be classified as a quest for immortality. - The Almanack of Naval Ravikant by Eric Jorgenson
