Here are some anime quotes about death. They might be dreadful for others, but in a positive way, they can inspire you to do the best that you can while you are still living.
“Everyone dies eventually, whether they have power or not. That’s why you need to think about what you’ll accomplish while you’re alive.” – Mary Macbeth
“When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? No. When they are ravaged by an incurable disease? No. When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom? No! It’s when… they are forgotten.” – Dr. Hiruluk
“Do not fear death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light. But, if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity.” – Laughing Bull
“Man always thinks about the past before he dies, as if he were frantically searching for proof that he truly lived.” – Jet Black
“My reason for being is simply to kill those who killed me. So don’t get the wrong idea. We’re not heroes or champions out for justice. Keep following me around and you’ll die.” – Makina Hoshimura
“I think death is equally terrible for everyone. Young people, old people, the good, the bad; it’s always the same. It’s rather fair in its treatment. There’s no such thing as a terrible death, that’s why it’s frightening.” – Sunako
The flowers bloom, then wither …
the stars shine and one day become extinct …
This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe
someday will be destroyed …
Compared with that, the human life is only a blink,
just a little time …
In that short time, the people are born, laugh, cry, fight,
are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone.
All in just a moment.
And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death.
There probably isn’t any meaning in life. Perhaps you can find something interesting to do while you are alive. Like how you found that flower. Like how I found you.
Orochimaru
When are we born? When do we die? Why are we born? Why do we die? The world has been destroyed and we’ve fallen countless times, always resurrecting from the ashes as Paradise. It has happened before, and it will happen again. An endless cycle of life and death.
The world is a Paradise that was opened by someone, but this era too is almost at an end. We have acquired the means to exceed our natural span of life, never suspecting that the world itself was finalized in its existence. This knowledge has left me in despair, my fate has fallen and scattered like the petals of a dying flower, like the blast from a sandstorm it has been worn down and weathered away. As if to be purified, the world will be encased in ice so that it can return to the beginning once more. Paradise is a world that is opened by someone…

The sun rises today and sets again. A flower that bloomed in the morning, falls from its stem. The sun sets today and rises again. Flowers bloom to fill the land, but not the flowers of yesterday…
The moon peers down on a diseased world… There is no cure for the disease, an entire race walks mindlessly into destruction. Not even a man of colossal power, would be able to prevent the inevitable.
