Died Quotes (page 127)

Pegi just recorded "I Don't Want to Talk About," written by Danny Whitten, the original Crazy Horse guitar player and singer who's all over Early Daze, an album of songs from the beginning of Crazy Horse that I have been working on compiling recently. Danny was every bit the artist I am, but he died of a heroin OD in the early seventies. Every time I hear Pegi sing that song, it makes me tremendously sad. She sings it so beautifully, phrasing it to break my heart. She does it justice. You... Neil Young
I didn't want to be in the teeming mass of the working class.[...] I didn't want to live and die in the same place with only a week at the seaside in between. I dreamed of escape - but what is terrible about industrialisation is that it makes escape necessary. In a system that generates masses, individualism is the only way out. But then what happens to community - to society? Jeanette Winterson
From my mother's sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from the dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose. Randall Jarrell
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "No one dies of fatal truths nowadays: there are too many..."
No one dies of fatal truths nowadays: there are too many antidotes. Friedrich Nietzsche
Marcus Aurelius quote: "Give up your thirst for books, so that you do not die a grouch."
Give up your thirst for books, so that you do not die a grouch. Marcus Aurelius
P. J. O'Rourke quote: "Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in..."
Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. P. J. O'Rourke
It appeared to the Elders that the people here would believe anything about themselves, no matter how preposterous, as long as it was flattering. To make sure of this, they performed an experiment. They put the idea into Earthlings' heads that the whole Universe had been created by one big animal who looked just like them. He sat on a throne with a lot of less fancy thrones all around him. When people died they got to sit on those other thrones forever because they were such close relatives... Kurt Vonnegut
A tree's shade is worth more than the knowledge of truth, my sons, for a tree's shade is true while it lasts, and the knowledge of truth is false in its very truth. The leaves' greenness is worth more, for a right understanding, than a great thought, for the leaves, greenness is something you can show others, but you can never show them a great thought. We are born without knowing how to talk and we die without having known how to express ourselves. Our life runs its course between the... Fernando Pessoa
Richard Dawkins quote: "When I am dying, I should like my life taken out under general..."
When I am dying, I should like my life taken out under general anaesthetic, exactly as if it were a diseased appendix. Richard Dawkins
Wallace Stegner quote: "It's easier to die than to move ... at least for the Other..."
It's easier to die than to move ... at least for the Other Side you don't need trunks. Wallace Stegner
You smile upon your friend to-day, To-day his ills are over; You hearken to the lover's say, And happy is the lover.'Tis late to hearken, late to smile, But better late than never: I shall have lived a little while. Before I die for ever. A. E. Housman
John Webster quote: "Cover her face; mine eyes dazzle. She died young."
Cover her face; mine eyes dazzle. She died young. John Webster
A man who wants to die feels angry and full of life and desperate and bored and exhausted, all at the same time; he wants to fight everyone, and he wants to curl up in a ball and hide in a cupboard somewhere. He wants to say sorry to everyone, and he wants everyone to know just how badly they've all let him down. Nick Hornby
She closed her eyes; and in the sweet slumber lyingher spirit tiptoed from its lodging place.It's folly to shrink in fear, if this is dying;for death looked lovely in her face. Petrarch
If you’re the kind of person who has no guts, you just give up every time life pushes you. If you’re that kind of person, you’ll live all your life playing it safe, doing the right things, saving yourself for something that never happens. Then, you die a boring old man. Robert Kiyosaki
