For me the world has always been more of a puppet show. But when one looks behind the curtain and traces the strings upward he finds they terminate in the hands of yet other puppets, themselves with their own strings which trace upward in turn, and so on. In my own life I saw these strings whose origins were endless enact the deaths of great men in violence and madness. Enact the ruin of a nation. Cormac McCarthy
Long after her death I felt her thoughts floating through mine. Long before we met we had had the same dreams. We compared notes. We found strange affinities. The same June of the same year (1919) a stray canary had fluttered into her house and mine, in two widely separated countries. Oh, Lolita, had you love me thus! Vladimir Nabokov

Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavours. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we may be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temparate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune, and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another. Robert Louis Stevenson
Joel Rosenberg quote: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of death I will fear no..."
Yea, though I walk through the valley of death I will fear no evil, for I am the meanest son of a bitch in the valley. Joel Rosenberg
Language, at least, may give up the secrets of life and death, leading us through the maze to the original Word as monster or angel, to the mournful place where we may meet Job and hear his cry, 'How long will you vex my soul and break me in pieces with words? Janet Frame
Later, she would remember these years, and realize with astonishment that she had, by fifteen, decided on most of the assumptions she would carry for the rest of her life: that people were essentially not evil, that perfection was death, that life was better than order and a little chaos good for the soul. Most important, this life was all. Unfortunately, she forgot these things, and had to remember them the hard way. Marilyn French
J. K. Rowling quote: "It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and..."
It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more. J. K. Rowling
We shall live even in this state of living death, we shall love, we shall feel, we shall defy all who would judge and destroy us. Anne Rice
If this glorious birth to death hassle is the only hassle we are ever to have .. if our grand exhilarating fight of life is such a tragically short little scrap anyway, compared to the eons of rounds before and after-then why should one want to relinquish even a few precious seconds of it? Ken Kesey
Then came the march past the victims. The two men were no longer alive. Their tongues were hanging out, swollen and bluish. But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing... And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death, writhing before our eyes. And we were forced to look at him at close range. He was still alive when I passed him. His tongue was stillred, his eyes not yet extinguished. Behind me, I heard the same man... Elie Wiesel
