With death all questions are answered. Meaning to some that the meaning of life, is death. Everything is clear when you cease to need it anymore.

This phrase can be interpreted in different ways. first does it imply that during, before or after death? second, death of one's own self or others? and finally to suggest that it will bring "ALL" the knowledge seems absolutely false any way u look at it. may bring some but not "ALL"

Since the phrase uses "among" (death) rathern than "with", I would interpret it to pertain to the meaning of life, i.e., when you see death or is surrounded by death, you are reminded of your own mortality, of the inevitabilty of "the end", thereby bringing with it the etheral knowledge or meaning of life. "Knowledge of it all" pertains to the answer to life's biggest mystery - "what is the meaning of life?" Everything must come to an end, ergo the true meaning of life is in the journey towards death.
If the phrase was "With death, brings knowledge of it all," I would alter my interpretation to mean that it is only in retrospect, after you have ended your "journey" will you find the meaning of life.

I don't know who said this, but I can definitely pick out some religious connotation. If you're a Christian, then you believe after you die you will ascend to Heaven and be with God for eternity. I believe "knowledge of it all" refers to finding out the secrets to life and creation by being taken into Heaven and learning these from the Maker himself.

When a person dies other people find out all kinds of things they never knew, including some secrets the person (who died) may have had. Sometimes if they die from an illness there always seems to be a cure found, but of course it's too late.

Among death...hmmm....probably means you're dead..so there's no thinking no knowledge after death.. the phrase has no meaning..

Sounds religious. I want to know everything now, so I can better myself. What good is knowing everything when I die? Even if I'm reincarnated I probably forget all that I learned when I was dead.

Interesting. I would translate it to when you are surrounded by death you get knowledge of death.

Doesn't strike me as very profound. At least at first sight. Maybe it will improve as I read into it. Probably not, though.
Who wrote it?
Why the unhappy face?

When pondered upon it actually gets better then at the first reading. Intreresting.
