Dies Quotes (page 150)

It's so quiet this high up, the feeling you get is that you're one of those space monkeys. You do the little job you're trained to do. Pull a lever. Push a button. You don't understand any of it, and then you just die. Chuck Palahniuk

There is a saying in the Neverland that, every time you breathe, a grown-up dies. J. M. Barrie
To me [Edgar Allen Poe's] prose is unreadable—like Jane Austin's [sic]. No there is a difference. I could read his prose on salary, but not Jane's. Jane is entirely impossible. It seems a great pity that they allowed her to die a natural death. Mark Twain

I'm writing this book because we're all going to die. Jack Kerouac
Crawling at your feet,' said the Gnat (Alice drew her feet back in some alarm), `you may observe a Bread-and-Butterfly. Its wings are thin slices of Bread-and-butter, its body is a crust, and its head is a lump of sugar.' And what does IT live on?' Weak tea with cream in it.' A new difficulty came into Alice's head. `Supposing it couldn't find any?' she suggested. Then it would die, of course.' But that must happen very often,' Alice remarked thoughtfully. It always happens,' said... Lewis Carroll
Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the Gate: To every man upon this earth. Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better. Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his gods Thomas Babington Macaulay
Nor do I try to keep a garden, only. An avocado in a glass of water --Roots pallid, gemmed with air. And later, When the small gilt leaves have grown. Fleshy and green, I let them die, yes, yes, And start another. I am earth's no less. James Merrill
fear life but don't die, your alone, everybody's alone, oh Cody Pomeray you can't win you can't lose all is ephemeral all is hurt Jack Kerouac
Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come. William Shakespeare

There's a kinship among men who have sat by a dying fire and measured the worth of their life by it. William Golding
Ray Bradbury quote: "Looking at her in the hospital he had thought, I don't know..."
Looking at her in the hospital he had thought, I don't know you, who you are, does it matter if we live or die? Ray Bradbury
Nor shall this peace sleep with her; but as when. The bird of wonder dies, the maiden phoenix, Her ashes new-create another heir. As great in admiration as herself. William Shakespeare
The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down. To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonored, and unsung. Walter Scott
