Death is certainly not wrong about this.

I know it's not quite the same Death but I could do with a recording of almost any of these quotes in Brian Cox's voice.

I will always hear Death as Sir Christopher Lee and I'll not apologize.

"But, alcohol debilitates the body and is a poison to the soul!"

"SOUNDS GOOD TO ME."

Dominant win for Death right there.

I wouldn't mind having this on my gravestone.

Death is one of my all time favorite fictional characters and I find his love of cats deeply charming

of course the loner anthropomorphic personification loves cats

I know he got letters from terminally ill patients saying that when they meet Death, they hope it's the one he described. And he said those letters always made him sit there and stare at the wall for a while. I think about that a lot.

This exact pic and quote have been on my desk several years 🤗

“Death is not evil. He’s just very, very good at his job” - that’s the best description I’ve seen.

YOU MUST LEARN THE COMPASSION PROPER TO YOUR TRADE

"And what's that?"

A SHARP EDGE.

Yᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇɴ'ᴛ ʜᴇᴀʀᴅ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ Bᴀʏ Oғ Mᴀɴᴛᴇ, ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ? he said.
“No, sir,” said Mort.

“Was there?”

Imagine being in a big old shipwreck, then having to wait around while Death finds the place

One of my favourite Death lines is “DARK IN HERE, ISN'T IT?”. His love of cats is perfect.

I read the entire Discworld series to my daughter. I always enjoyed talking IN ALL CAPS for death.

I went to a podcast interviewing Peter Serafinowicz and they NEVER MENTIONED HIM READING THE VOICE OF *DEATH* ! Not once - not at all!

DEATH is also my favourite and I recently finished all the audiobooks. Bill Nighy is also great doing the footnotes.
