Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Quotes

There are two things that you have to do in life: You have to die, and you have to live until you die. The rest is up to you.

It is worth while dying, to find out what life is.

Ten out of ten people die. You start thinking about that and it really makes you start to ask the big questions: Where did I come from? Where am I going when I die? What happens when we step out of here? What's out there?

I think a lot about death more than life, because we're going towards death.

All of us want to live, and that is absolutely natural. However, we should learn from childhood on to choose our best way to die. If we don't do that, we end up spending our days like a dog, only in search of harbour, food and expressing a blind loyalty to his owner in return. That isn't enough to make our lives have a meaning.

I've jokingly said that everything I'm doing now is filling up the hours before I die, but I do feel that slightly. I have no religious beliefs so this is the ride. This is it. So I'm just like anyone, I suppose, trying to fill out the days in the most interesting way possible.

Ultimately, I think, as humans, we all care deeply about our life's legacy, and contemplating our own mortality is the only real way to approach that question of legacy honestly.

...the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time.

Does anything really matter? We all end up in the same place. All that's left is our Wikipedia entry.

I don't know if I was put on this Earth for a purpose or not. But I'm fairly confident that I'll be taken off of it for one.

I think about dying every day, because I can't stop thinking about living.

What am I living for and what am I dying for are the same question.

We all wind up the same way, no matter what our goals or ambitions are. We have nothing at all to say about how we got into this world or how are going to leave it.

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

I think I want to talk about life from the point of view of death.

If we don't know life, how can we know death?

We were born and we die. In between, I think we try to live as best we can.

Well, I think the main message is there is more to your story. There is more than what happens between the crib and the grave, and that is what I am really trying to speak to, this idea that all of life is this life and that there is nothing more than what we see and experience right here on this earth.

I've spent a lot of words on my own mortality.

Why are we born? We're born eventually to die, of course. But what happens between the time we're born and we die? We're born to live. One is a realist if one hopes.

Nothing is a matter of life and death except life and death.

It is the lot of man but once to die.

Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.

Obviously, we're all going to die at some point. Whether or not we are fated to die in some way I think is debatable. I just don't know which side to debate.

If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering. Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, even as fate and death. Without suffering and death, human life cannot be complete.
