People die only once. They have no experience to draw on.

Now when I die, I shall only be dead.

You see, there can be no life without death

When you have a sorrow that is too great it leaves no room for any other.

Death is the ultimate negative.

Death is the only lighthouse that is always lit.

[...] I finally understood that death and numbers don't cohere. Everyone is 'one.' An accident report might say that nine died, four of them in their teens, but each death was 'one.' Each of six million Jews was 'one.' With death it is a series of 'ones.

Only the dead have seen the end of war.

Only the dead have seen the end of war.

Once more there sounded within me the terrible warning that there is only one life for all men, that there is only one life for all men, that there is no other and that all that can be enjoyed must be enjoyed here. In eternity no other chance will be given to us.

The only certainty is death.

No one but death the redeemer will humble that head.

One short sleep past, we wake eternally, and Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die.

I know, too, that death is the only god who comes when you call.
