Death Quotes (page 109)

I waver—in the dark—between the observation (but is it entirely accurate?) that I’m unhappy only by moments, by jerks and surges, sporadically, even if such spasms are close together—and the conviction that deep down, in actual fact, I am continually, all the time, unhappy since maman’s death. Roland Barthes
There is a time when death is an event, an ad-venture, and as such mobilizes, interests, activates, tetanizes. And then one day it is no longer an event, it is another duration, compressed, insignificant, not narrated, grim, without recourse: true mourning not susceptible to any narrative dialectic. Roland Barthes
Perhaps our eyes are merely a blank film which is taken from us after our deaths to be developed elsewhere and screened as our life story in some infernal cinema or dispatched as microfilm into the sidereal void. Jean Baudrillard
Emily Dickinson quote: "Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me."
Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me. Emily Dickinson
Alas! I regret that I am taken from you; and, happy and beloved as I have been, is it not hard to quit you all? But these are not thoughts befitting me; I will endeavor to resign myself cheerfully to death, and will indulge a hope of meeting you in another world. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
When ... asked what I am writing, I have answered, "A book about social class in America," ... It is if I had said, "I am working on a book urging the beating to death of baby whales using the dead bodies of baby seals. Paul Fussell
Why did I accept death? But I will ask, what use was life to me after that revolver had been raised against me by the being I adored? Fyodor Dostoevsky
J. K. Rowling quote: "Birth and death: there was the same consciousness of..."
Birth and death: there was the same consciousness of heightened existence and of her own elevated importance J. K. Rowling
Remember that the crazy people are not always to be found on the outside. Sometimes the crazy people are deeply embedded on the inside. Not even the most imaginative conspiracy theorist has ever thought to invent a scenario in which a crack team of Special Forces soldiers and major generals secretly try to walk through their walls and stare goats to death. Jon Ronson
J. K. Rowling quote: "if I were a death eater, I would have been sure to research my..."
...if I were a death eater, I would have been sure to research my own jam preferences before impersonating myself. J. K. Rowling
Consider the Koran, for example; this wretched book was sufficient to start a world-religion, to satisfy the metaphysical needs of countless millions for twelve hundred years, to become the basis of their morality and of a remarkable contempt for death, and also to inspire them to bloody wars and the most extensive conquests. Much may be lost in translation, but I have not been able to discover in it one single idea of value. Arthur Schopenhauer
I admire Tolkien greatly. His books had enormous influence on me. And the trope that he sort of established—the idea of the Dark Lord and his Evil Minions—in the hands of lesser writers over the years and decades has not served the genre well. It has been beaten to death. The battle of good and evil is a great subject for any book and certainly for a fantasy book, but I think ultimately the battle between good and evil is weighed within the individual human heart and not necessarily between... George R. R. Martin
Moliere quote: "Without knowledge, life is no more than the shadow of death"
Without knowledge, life is no more than the shadow of death Moliere
William Shakespeare quote: "To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that..."
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come? William Shakespeare
Nothing, not even the best and noblest, can go on as it now is. Nothing, not even what is lowest and most bestial, will not be raised again if it submits to death. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. Flesh and blood cannot come to the Mountains [heaven]. Not because they are too rank, but because they are too weak. What is a Lizard compared with a stallion? Lust is a poor, weak, whimpering whispering thing compared with that richness and energy of desire which will arise... C. S. Lewis
