George Bernard Shaw Quotes

Everything born has to die, in order to make room for the future.

Setting is preliminary to brighter rising; decay is a process of advancement; death is the condition of higher and more fruitful life.

From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.

Die and born again, die and born again. It's the story of my life.

A baby is God's opinion that life should go on.

Destroying is a necessary function in life. Everything has its season, and all things eventually lose their effectiveness and die.

I think reincarnation is possible. Hopefully, we all get recycled.

It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection.

All death in nature is birth, and at the moment of death appears visibly the rising of life. There is no dying principle in nature, for nature throughout is unmixed life, which, concealed behind the old, begins again and develops itself. Death as well as birth is simply in itself, in order to present itself ever more brightly and more like to itself.

Sunsets and death; death and therefore kisses, kisses and consequently birth and then death for yet another generation of sunset watchers.

Without death and decay, how could life go on?

Every new born being indeed comes fresh and blithe into the new existence, and enjoys it as a free gift: but there is, and can be, nothing freely given. It's fresh existence is paid for by the old age and death of a worn out existence which has perished, but which contained the indestructible seed out of which the new existence has arisen: they are one being.

The Dance - it is the rhythm of all that dies in order to live again; it is the eternal rising of the sun.

What if it is for life's sake that we must die? In truth we are not individuals; and it is because we think ourselves such that death seems unforgivable. We are temporary organs of the race, cells in the body of life; we die and drop away that life may remain young and strong. If we were to live forever, growth would be stifled, and youth would find no room on earth. Death, like style, is the removal of rubbish, the circumcision of the superfluous. In the midst of death life renews itself immortally.

Is life a pregnancy? That would make death a birth.

Must in death your daylight finish? My sun sets to rise again.

Know, therefore, that from the greater silence I shall return... Forget not that I shall come back to you... A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.

Life is a plant that grows out of death.

The world dies over and over again, but the skeleton always gets up and walks.

Death is the prerequisite to resurrection, the new life God intends.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again.
