“So might we die, not envying them that live;
So would we die, not unrevenged all.”

Torquato Tasso (1544–1595) Italian poet

Noi morirem, né invidia avremo ai vivi:
Noi morirem, ma non morremo inulti.
Canto II, stanza 86 (tr. Fairfax)
Gerusalemme Liberata (1581)

“I finally did not understand if we are living to survive or we are living to die!”

Javad Alizadeh (1953) cartoonist, journalist and humorist

Quoted in Humor & Caricature (February 1995), p. 3

“I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.”

Jimi Hendrix (1942–1970) American musician, singer and songwriter

“"You have everything, Karnus. Wealth. Power. Seven brothers and sisters. How many cousins? Nieces? Nephews? A father and mother who love you, yet… you are here, drinking alone, killing my friends. Setting the purpose of your life to ending me. Why?"
"Because you wronged my family. No one wrongs the Bellona and lives."
"So it's pride."
"It's always pride."
"Pride is just a shout into the wind."
He shakes his head, voice deepening. "I will die. You will die. We will all die and the universe will carry on without care. All that we have is that shout into the wind - how we live. How we go. And how we stand before we fall." He leans forward. "So you see, pride is the only thing."”

“We are born, we live, and we die in the midst of the marvelous.”

Napoleon I of France (1769–1821) French general, First Consul and later Emperor of the French

Napoleon : In His Own Words (1916)
Context: What are we? What is the future? What is the past? What magic fluid envelops us and hides from us the things it is most important for us to know? We are born, we live, and we die in the midst of the marvelous.

“I was born an American, I live like an American, I will die an American.”

John F. Kennedy (1917–1963) 35th president of the United States of America

“Behold, we live through all things,—famine, thirst,
Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery,
All woe and sorrow; life inflicts its worst
On soul and body,—but we can not die,
Though we be sick and tired and faint and worn,—
Lo, all things can be borne!”

Elizabeth Chase Allen (1832–1911) American author, journalist, poet

Endurance, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

“Just say "mister I'm sorry, I got no time to die, I'm too busy" and then turn and run like hell. If they say coward why don't pay any attention because it's your job to live not to die.”

Dalton Trumbo book Johnny Got His Gun

Johnny Got His Gun (1938)
Context: Just say "mister I'm sorry, I got no time to die, I'm too busy" and then turn and run like hell. If they say coward why don't pay any attention because it's your job to live not to die. If they talk about dying for principles that are bigger than life, you say "mister you're a liar. Nothing is bigger than life". There's nothing noble in death. What's noble about lying in the ground and rotting? What's noble about never seeing the sunshine again? What's noble about having your legs and arms blown off? What's noble about being an idiot? What's noble about being blind and deaf and dumb? What's noble about being dead? Because when you're dead, mister, it's all over. It's the end. You're less than a dog, less than a rat, less than a bee or an ant, less than a white maggot crawling around on a dungheap. You're dead, mister, and you died for nothing.

“When I die, when I die, I'll rot.
But when I live, but when I live,
I'll give it all I've got.”

Sufjan Stevens (1975) American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist

"Age of Adz"
Lyrics, The Age of Adz (2010)

“I got these questions always running through my head. So many things that I would like to understand. If we are born to die and we all die to live, then whats the point of living life if it just contradicts?”
