We lost our innocence in the Fall, and our turn to it is through the Redemption which was brought about by Christ's death and by our slow participation in it. Sentimentality is a skipping of this process in its concrete reality and an early arrival at a mock state of innocence, which strongly suggests its opposite. Flannery O'Connor
I'm hunger. I'm thirst. Where I bite, I hold till I die, and even after death they must cut out my mouthful from my enemy's body and bury it with me. I can fast a hundred years and not die. I can lie a hundred nights on the ice and not freeze. I can drink a river of blood and not burst. Show me your enemies. C. S. Lewis
The idea of a good society is something you do not need a religion and eternal punishment to buttress; you need a religion if you are terrified of death. Gore Vidal
Fidelity, enforced and unto death, is the price you pay for the kind of love you never want to give up, for someone you want to hold forever, tighter and tighter, whether he's close or far away, someone who becomes dearer to you the more you've sacrificed for his sake. Marguerite Duras

J. P. Donleavy quote: "Dear Mr Skully, I have caught my neck in a mangle and will..."
Dear Mr Skully, I have caught my neck in a mangle and will be indisposed for eternity. Yours in death. S. D. J. P. Donleavy
George Byron quote: "I see before me the Gladiator lie: / He leans upon his hand -..."
I see before me the Gladiator lie: / He leans upon his hand - his manly brow / Consents to death, but conquers agony. George Byron
The left one's the hospital, the right one's death. The right one steals your life while the left steals your breath. These hands are bad juju and the bad boogaloo, they're the teeth of the demon as he slides down the flue. James Ellroy
Mitch Albom quote: "And I suppose tapes are a desperate attempt to steal something..."
And I suppose tapes are a desperate attempt to steal something from Death's suitcase. Mitch Albom
His submissive death was the surest proof that he wholly believed the faith he had lived. He had no regrets or misgivings. "One world at a time," he said to Channing, who was speculating on the hereafter. When someone else inquired whether he had made his peace with God, he answered, "We have never quarreled.
