Inevitability Of Death Quotes

This collection holds 6 inevitability of death quotes, drawn from writers, leaders, artists and thinkers across the QuoteForever archive. The most quoted voices here are Richard P. Feynman, Dionne Brand and Italo Calvino.

They are ordered so that each author has a say before anyone repeats, which means the first page gives you the range of the topic rather than one writer's back catalogue.

Use the grid and list views to change how much of each quote you see, follow an author's name to read everything else they said, or open a quote on its own page to copy it, share it, or turn it into a picture quote.

Richard P. Feynman / Physicist

But there is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death.

Dionne Brand / Poet

People here believe in uncontrollable passion, in mad rages, and in the brusque inevitability of death.

Italo Calvino / Journalist

The ultimate meaning to which all stories refer has two faces: the continuity of life, the inevitability of death.

Cornel West / Philosopher

In that chocolate side of town, in my blessed city of Sacramento, California - that was beginning of my death shudders, that's why Kierkegaard and Kafka began to make sense to me when I was very, very young - that radical sense fragility of life and inevitability of death; those trucks coming, if the truck came at a same time I was on the bridge, I was in the creek -my body would be the culinary delight of terrestrial worms.

J. R. R. Tolkien / Writer

Human stories are practically always about one thing, really, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death. . . . . . (quoting an obituary) 'There is no such thing as a natural death. Nothing that ever happens to man is natural, since his presence calls the whole world into question. All men must die, but for every man his death is an accident, and even if he knows it he would sense to it an unjustifiable violation.' Well, you may agree with the words or not, but those are the key spring of The Lord Of The Rings

Richard P. Feynman / Physicist

There is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. This suggests to me that it is not at all inevitable and that it is only a matter of time before biologists discover what it is that is causing us the trouble.
