I am not and will never again be a young writer, a young homeowner, a young teacher. I was never a young wife. The only thing I could do now for which my youth would be a truly notable feature would be to die. If I died now, I'd die young. Everything else, I'm doing middle-aged.

Meghan Daum

Only the good die young.

Billy Joel

They say the good die young, so the bad die old. Guess we somewhere in the middle, so just pray for my soul.

Jon Connor

There are two things I know about life... Only the good die young but the real jerks will live forever.

Lewis Black

I did write a letter to the archdiocese who'd banned the song, Only the Good Die Young, asking them to ban my next record.

Billy Joel

When the Greeks said, Whom the gods love die young, they probably meant, as Lord Sankey suggested, that those favored by the gods stay young till the day they die; young and playful.

Eric Hoffer

I like a man who's good, but not too good - for the good die young, and I hate a dead one.

Mae West

Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live.

Douglas MacArthur

My father was only thirty-one when he died of a heart attack, much too young for a father to die and leave his young wife with five rambunctious little kids to take care of. I was the youngest. Only a couple of months old when he died.

Lewis B. Smedes

A movie is better than real life because in the movies only the bad guys die. Or you can pick the good movies where the bad guys die and only those. If you get tricked and a good person dies in the movie then you can rewrite it in your head so the good person lives and the part about death is superfluous.

Kathryn Erskine

The good die young, because they see it's no use living if you have got to be good.

John Barrymore

It’s not the good that die young, it’s the lucky.

Mark Twain

When you are young, you think that the old lament the deterioration of life because this makes it easier for them to die without regret. When you are old, you become impatient with the way in which the young applaud the most insignificant improvements … while remaining heedless of the world’s barbarism. I don’t say things have got worse; I merely say the young wouldn’t notice if they had. The old times were good because then we were young, and ignorant of how ignorant the young can be.

Julian Barnes

Not yet hardened, many young die good.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

The rest of my days I'm going to spend on the sea. And when I die, I'm going to die on the sea. You know what I shall die of? I shall die of eating an unwashed grape. One day out on the ocean I will die — with my hand in the hand of some nice-looking ship's doctor, a very young one with a small blond moustache and a big silver watch.

Tennessee Williams

Fools die happy. The happy die young. The young die foolish.

Alex Gaskarth
