Life is a forced state! I am surprized that we live, rather than that our friends die. — © Erasmus Darwin
Life is a forced state! I am surprized that we live, rather than that our friends die.
I'd rather die on my own terms than live on theirs. I'd rather die loving Alex than live without him.
We would rather be ruined than changed. We would rather die in our dread than climb the cross of the moment and let our illusions die.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is.
We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees.
I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.
I have a face like a washrag. I sing love songs and carry steel. I would rather die than cry. I can't stand hounds can't live without them. I hang my head against the white refrigerator and want to scream like the last weeping of life forever but I am bigger than the mountains.
I would rather die now than to live a life of oblivious ease in so sick a world.
I'd rather die riding 95 than live a life full of nothing but filthy lies.
If there be no right of rebellion against a state of things that no savage tribe would endure without resistance, then I am sure that it is better for men to fight and die without right than to live in such a state of right as this.
certain very old people reach an age where every funeral becomes some sort of insane confirmation of strength, rather than of vulnerability, as it is when we are in our thirties or forties and our friends die.
And I just think that we're at a point in our economic life here in our state - and - and, candidly, across the country, where increased taxes is just the wrong way to go. The people of our state are not convinced that state government, county government, local government has done all they can with the money we already give them, rather than the money that we have...
We have proclaimed to the world our determination 'to die freemen, rather than to live slaves.' We have appealed to Heaven for the justice of our cause, and in Heaven we have placed our trust.
I am not afraid of retaliations. I don't have kids. I don't have a wife, no car, no credit. It may seem pompous, but I'd rather die standing than live on my knees.
The purpose of life is a life with a purpose. So I’d rather die for a cause, than live a life that is worthless.
We have got to change our ethics and our financial system and our whole way of understanding the world. It has to be a world in which people live rather than die; a sustainable world. It could be great.
We may have to learn to live with cancer rather than die of it. It means a big change in our mindset and how we do research. We haven't quite reached there yet.
