Death Quotes (page 144)

My feet are killing me."I knew somebody who had feet like that. They'd walk all over him. Archie Kashanian was his name. He used to wake up with footprints all over his chest, all over his face. It was the death of him, finally. Clive Barker
Suzanne Collins quote: "I have not wept since the death of my parents," said Luxa..."
I have not wept since the death of my parents," said Luxa quietly. "But I am thought to be unnatural in this respect. Suzanne Collins
I expected this reception. All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things! Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us. You purpose to kill me. How dare you sport thus with life? Do your duty towards me, and I will do mine towards you and the rest of mankind. If you will comply with my conditions, I will leave them and you at peace; but if you refuse, I... Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Shusaku Endo quote: "The smell of death was thick in the city of Vras. And in Tokyo..."
The smell of death was thick in the city of Vras. And in Tokyo as well. And yet the birds blissfully sang their songs. Shusaku Endo
I have an odd craving to whisper about those few frightful hours in that ill-rumoured and evilly shadowed seaport of death and blasphemous abnormality. H. P. Lovecraft
I thought about death and was gripped by feelings which choked my chest and made my throat dry, a sudden pushing and shoving in my guts. It was a sort of chronic ailment I had. Once that feeling and that agitation of my whole body had begun, I wouldn't be able to shake it off until I got to asleep. And I couldn't recall it with the same impact in the daytime. Kenzaburo Oe
William S. Burroughs quote: "O death where is thy sting? The man is never on time..."
O death where is thy sting? The man is never on time... William S. Burroughs
In deference to such spectacular carnage it is perhaps perverse to dwell upon one person's death, but we are creatures so constituted that the passing of one friend or one acquaintance has a profounder effect that that of 100,000 strangers. If there is any metaphorical truth in the Jewish proverb that he who saves one life saves the whole world, then there is equal metaphorical truth in the proposition that when one person dies, the whole world dies with them. Louis de Bernieres
J. K. Rowling quote: "Brains like that, you could be a Death Eater, son."
Brains like that, you could be a Death Eater, son. J. K. Rowling
For three years, all through junior high, my social death was grossly overdetermined. I had a large vocabulary, a giddily squeaking voice, horn-rimmed glasses, poor arm strength, too-obvious approval from my teachers, irresistible urges to shout unfunny puns, a near-eidetic acquaintance with J.R.R. Tolkien, a big chemistry lab in my basement, a penchant for intimately insulting any unfamiliar girl unwise enough to speak to me, and so on. Jonathan Franzen
We knew, finally, that the girls really were women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them. Jeffrey Eugenides
Leo Tolstoy quote: "How often we sin, how much we deceive, and all for what?......"
How often we sin, how much we deceive, and all for what?... All will end in death, all! Leo Tolstoy
Because the world is so full of death and horror, I try again and again to console my heart and pick the flowers that grow in the midst of hell. Herman Hesse
I am thinking of one woman and the rest is blotto. I say I am thinking of her, but the truth is I am dying a stellar death. I am lying there like a sick star waiting for the light to go out. Years ago I lay on this same bed and I waited and waited to be born. Nothing happened. Except that my mother, in her Lutheran rage, threw a bucket of water over me. My mother, poor imbecile that she was, thought I was lazy. She didn't know that I had gotten caught in the stellar drift, that I was being... Henry Miller
William Shakespeare quote: "The stroke of death is as a lover's pinch. Which hurts and is..."
The stroke of death is as a lover's pinch. Which hurts and is desired. William Shakespeare
