Death Quote by Ray Bradbury — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Is Death important? No. Everything that happens before Death is what counts.”

“Everyone must leave something behind when he dies . . . Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die . . . It doesn't matter what you do, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.”

“If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy. Any man who can take a TV wall apart and put it back together again, and most men can nowadays, is happier than any man who tries to slide-rule, measure and equate the universe, which just wont be measured or equated without making man feel bestial and lonely.”

“But remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy to truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority. Oh, God, the terrible tyranny of the majority.”

“You can't argue with the dead, no matter what you say, they always have the last word.”

“We can't be sad for her," she murmured. "Only for ourselves at having to say good-bye.”

“You have tasted of death now,” said the old man. “Is it good?”

“There is a very popular opinion that choosing life is inherently superior to choosing death. This belief that life is”

“Death truly does have life, and walks with and lives through us everyday.”

“And anyway, it’s not as though I’ll never see Mum again, is it?”
