Officially there are no fates worse than death. Unofficially, there is a profusion of such fates. For some people, just living with the thought that they will die is a fate worse than death itself.

Thomas Ligotti

I have heard of worse fates than succeeding the longest-serving manager in England.

Ralph Hasenhuttl

I can imagine few worse fates than walking around for the rest of one's life wearing a typo.

Anne Fadiman

I'll clue you in on a secret: death is not the worst thing that could happen to you. I know we think that; we are the first society ever to think that. It's not worse than dishonor; it's not worse than losing your freedom; its not worse than losing a sense of personal responsibility.

Bill Maher

There are worse things than having behaved foolishly in public. There are worse things than these miniature betrayals, committed or endured or suspected; there are worse things than not being able to sleep for thinking about them. It is 5 a.m. All the worse things come stalking in and stand icily about the bed looking worse and worse and worse.

Fleur Adcock

Worse than despair, Worse than the bitterness of death, is hope.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

There are so many worse things than death. Not to be loved or not to be able to love: that is worse.

Cassandra Clare

Racism is worse than ever. Violence is worse than ever. The economy's worse than ever. Unemployment's worse than ever. And it's Democrats that have been running the show, with the first African-American president at the top of the heap, and it didn't get any better?

Rush Limbaugh

Parting is worse than death; it is death of love!

John Dryden

Fear of death is worse than death itself.

Gosho Aoyama

Those whimpering Stateside young people will wake up on the Day of Judgment condemned to worse fates than these demon-fearing Indians, because, having a Bible, they were bored with it - while these never heard of such a thing as writing.

Jim Elliot

They can rule the world while they can persuade us our pain belongs in some order is death by famine worse than death by suicide, than a life of famine and suicide...?

Adrienne Rich

They can rule the world while they can persuade us our pain belongs in some order is death by famine worse than death by suicide, than a life of famine and suicide?

Adrienne Rich

We in Canada are not going to say Muslims are worse than Christians or are worse than Jews or are worse than atheists.
