Jean de la Bruyere Death Quotations

The passion of hatred is so long lived and so obstinate a malady that the surest sign of death in a sick person is their desire for reconciliation.

If some persons died, and others did not die, death would be a terrible affliction.

Death happens but once, yet we feel it every moment of our lives; it is worse to dread it than to suffer it.

A long disease seems to be a halting place between life and death, that death itself may be a comfort to those who die and to those who are left behind.

There are three great events in our lives: birth, life and death. Of birth we have no conscience; with death, we suffer; and, concerning life, we forget to live it.

Grief that is dazed and speechless is out of fashion: the modern woman mourns her husband loudly and tells you the whole story of his death, which distresses her so much that she forgets not the slightest detail about it.

There are but three events which concern man: birth, life and death. They are unconscious of their birth, they suffer when they die, and they neglect to live.

What is certain in death is somewhat softened by what is uncertain; it is an indefiniteness in the time, which holds a certain relation to the infinite, and what is called eternity.
