Henry Fielding1 quote

It hath been often said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible. — Henry Fielding · 1751

Leo Tolstoy1 quote

"What's this? am I falling? my legs are giving way under me," he thought, and fell on his back. He opened his eyes, hoping to see how the struggle of the French soldiers with the artilleryman was ending, and eager to know whether the red-haired artilleryman was killed or not, whether the cannons had been taken or saved. But he saw nothing of all that, Above him there was nothing but the sky-the lofty sky, not clear, but still immeasurably lofty, with gray clouds creeping quietly over it. — Leo Tolstoy · 1869

Petrarch1 quote

We are continually dying; I while I am writing these words, you while you are reading them, others when they hear them or fail to hear them. I shall be dying when you read this, you die while I write, we both are dying, we all are dying, we are dying forever. — Petrarch · 1360

Private Witt1 quote

I remember my mother when she was dyin', looked all shrunk up and gray. I asked her if she was afraid. She just shook her head. I was afraid to touch the death I seen in her. I couldn't find nothin' beautiful or uplifting about her goin' back to God. I heard of people talk about immortality, but I ain't seen it. — Private Witt · 1998

The Wicked Witch of the West1 quote

I'm melting, melting! Oh, what a world, what a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness? — The Wicked Witch of the West · 1939
