Death Quotes
Death shows up in conversation more than we admit.
These quotes treat death as a subject that surfaces everywhere - casual bar conversation about life's biggest questions, a wry comparison between an unfulfilling job and a kind of professional death, and culture as the space where death, love, and birth all get processed together. See Death And Taxes Quotes for more.

The problem with my mother is that she didn't go to the doctor.

Her big issue was not going to the doctor.

The man who buried Malcolm X - my Muslim imam, priest - he, after I got beat up by police... came to me, and he said, 'You don't need this American name.' And I was susceptible to it at the time because, God knows, I had just gotten whipped near to death. So he gave me an Arab name; he gave me the name Amir Barakat.

I haven't reported in grand detail on rituals of American life, road journeys or malls or the death of steel-manufacturing towns. I think this is because I feel a degree of alienation that I cannot combat.

When you see a 14-year-old boy who has never known what peace looks like for a day in his life, there's part of you as a human being that feels some degree, you can say, compassion for the fact that these boys have known war, famine, violence and death from the day they were born.

Before college, I acted in my room, to classical music, because music tells stories. I'd put on a record and proceed, silently. I'd keep putting the needle back to a certain segment because I hadn't died well enough. I had to really, really feel dead. I'd love to do a death scene.
