David Hume Quotes

Life is short but it is wide. This too shall pass.

The greatest surprise in life to me is the brevity of life.

We like to think of life as a constant ... Yet it can be ended in a heartbeat.

In the midst of life, we are in death.

Time flies never to be recalled.

It was almost funny. Life seemed downright accidental in its brevity, and death a punch line to a lousy joke.

I started thinking about how life is a lot like getting pushed out of a plane. You didn't ask to be here, none of us did. But we're all careening through space towards an eventual end that no one's gonna be able to put off. That's the only thing that's definite, this impact. So I started to think about how a lot of us fall at an incredible velocity, and it's over in the blink of an eye.

All who are born are always dying.

Madam Life's a piece in bloom Death goes dogging everywhere: she's the tenant of the room, he's the ruffian on the stair.

Our lives fade behind us before we die.

Life is a frail moth flying Caught in the web of the years that pass.

Out of the people that ever were, almost all of them are dead. There are way more dead people, and you're all gonna die and then you're gonna be dead for way longer than you're alive. Like that's mostly what you're ever gonna be. You're just dead people that didn't die yet.

Tomorrow is another day toward death.

No one loses any other life than the one he now lives, nor does one live any other life than that which he will lose.

The plain truth is we are going to die. Here I am, a teeny spec surrounded by boundless space and time, arguing with the whole of creation, shaking my fist, sputtering, growing even eloquent at times, and then-poof! I am gone. Swept off once and for all. I think that is very, very funny.

Some men spend their whole life furnishing for themselves the things proper to life without realizing that at our birth each of us was poured a mortal brew to drink.

The meaning of life is that it stops.

Life is short and we have scarcely begun to live when we are called to die.

Life-and-death. Lifedeath. One event. One short event. Don't forget.

We are nothing. - Tomorrow we may be die. We are nothing. - You and me.

Anyway I know only too well that all life is nothing but a brief reprieve from death.

Life can seem rather unreal at times. Alive and well and loving one day. No longer there the next.
