Death Quote by Dylan Thomas — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Do not go gentle into that good night,”

“Great is the hand that holds dominion over”

“[I'm]a freak user of words, not a poet.”

“There's plenty in the world that doth not die,”

“Fear not the waking world, my mortal,”

“An alcoholic is someone you don't like, who drinks as much as you do.”

“This self now as I leant over the gate looking down over fields rolling in waves of colour beneath me made no answer. He threw up no opposition. He attempted no phrase. His fist did not form. I waited. I listened. Nothing came, nothing. I cried then with a sudden conviction of complete desertion. Now there is nothing. No fin breaks the waste of this immeasurable sea. Life has destroyed me. No echo comes when I speak, no varied words. This is more truly death than the death of friends, than the death of youth.”

“I'm not courting death; I've far too many books left to read.”

“Ich werde stehen und warten.”

“I wonder why the dead can't talk, look at all the crimes we'd solve if the damn dead would just Ouija board us our answers, or tell all those weird psychic people who killed 'em.”

“The only advantage of knowledge is that it can justify suffering.”

“That's the kind of death that frightens me. The shadow of death slowly, slowly eats away at the region of life, and before you know it everything's dark and you can't see, and the people around you think of you as more dead than alive.”
