Death Quotes (page 147)

If you come as softly. As wind within the trees. You may hear what I hear. See what sorrow sees. If you come as lightly. As threading dew. I will take you gladly. Nor ask more of you. You may sit beside me. Silent as a breath. Only those who stay dead. Shall remember death. And if you come I will be silent. Nor speak harsh words to you. I will not ask you why, now. Or how, or what you do. We shall sit here, softly. Beneath two different years. And the rich earth between us. Shall drink our... Audre Lorde

A man must be prepared to face life, as well as death, there's no escape from either. Ellis Peters
On the death of a friend, we should consider that the fates through confidence have devolved on us the task of a double living, that we have henceforth to fulfill the promise of our friend's life also, in our own, to the world. Henry David Thoreau
His face set in grim determination, Richard slogged ahead, his fingers reaching up to touch the tooth under his shirt. Loneliness, deeper than he had never known, sagged his shoulders. All his friends were lost to him. He knew now that his life was not his own. It belonged to his duty, to his task. He was the Seeker. Nothing more. Nothing less. Not his own man, but a pawn to be used by others. A tool, same as his sword, to help others, that they might have the life he had only glimpsed for a... Terry Goodkind
But spending your life concentrating on death is like watching a whole movie and thinking only about the credits that are going to roll at the end. It’s a mistake of emphasis. Nicholson Baker
well, death says, as he walks by, I'm going to get you anyhow no matter what you've been: writer, cab-driver, pimp, butcher, sky-diver, I'm going to get you Charles Bukowski
Tennessee Williams quote: "Mendacity is a system that we live in," declares Brick...."
Mendacity is a system that we live in," declares Brick. "Liquor is one way out an'death's the other. Tennessee Williams
Would it hurt to die? All those times he had thought it was about to happen and escaped, he had never really thought of the thing itself: his will to live had always been so much stronger than his fear of death. J. K. Rowling
One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise. Aldo Leopold
Hunter S. Thompson quote: "Faster, Faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear..."
Faster, Faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death. Hunter S. Thompson
I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we’re reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like... Franz Kafka
To the young, indeed, death is sometimes welcome, for the young can feel. They love and suffer, and it wrings them to see their beloved pass into the land of shadows. H. Rider Haggard
I could lie down like a tired child, And weep away the life of care Which I have borne, and yet must bear? Till death like sleep might steal on me And I might feel in the warm air My cheek grow cold, and hear the sea Breathe o'er my dying brain its last monotony. Percy Bysshe Shelley
Raoul Vaneigem quote: "The tyrant dies smiling; for he knows that after his death..."
The tyrant dies smiling; for he knows that after his death tyranny will merely change hands, and slavery will never end. Raoul Vaneigem
I meant," said Iplsore bitterly, "what is there in this world that makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. "CATS", he said eventually, "CATS ARE NICE. Terry Prachett
