Dies Quotes (page 99)

Where was it that I read about a man condemned to death saying or thinking, an hour before his death, that if he had to live somewhere high up on a cliffside, on a ledge so narrow that there was room only for his two feet - and with the abyss, the ocean, eternal darkness, eternal solitude, eternal storm all around him - and had to stay like that, on a square foot of space, an entire lifetime, a thousand years, an eternity - it would be better to live so than die right now! Only to live, to... Fyodor Dostoevsky
When my mama was twenty-five she already had an old woman's hands, and I feared them. I did not know then what it was that scared me so. I've come to understand since that it was the thought of her growing old, of her dying and leaving me alone. I feared those brown spots, those wrinkles and cracks that lined her wrists, ankles, and the soft shadowed sides of her eyes. Dorothy Allison
My, how foolish I am! You know what I've always thought? I've always thought a body would have to be sick and dying before they saw the Lord. And I imagined that when He came it would be like looking at the Baptist window: pretty as colored glass with the sun pouring through, such a shine you don't know it's getting dark. And it's been a comfort: to think of that shine taking away all the spooky feeling. But I'll wager it never happens. I'll wager at the very end a body realizes the Lord has... Truman Capote
I have studied many religions, many different persuasions of thought in Christian belief, and I have come, in this experience to this: the most important question in anyone's life is the question asked by poor Pilate in Matthew 27:22: 'What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?' No Other question in the whole sweep of human experience is as important as this. It is the choice between life and death, between meaningless existence and life abundant. What will you do with Christ?... Dale Evans
Morrell, ever a true comrade, too had a splendid brain. In fact, and I who am about to die have the right to say it without incurring the charge of immodesty, the three best minds in San Quentin from the Warden down were the three that rotted there together in solitary. And here at the end of my days, reviewing all that I have known of life, I am compelled to the conclusion that strong minds are never docile. The stupid men, the fearful men, the men ungifted with passionate rightness and... Jack London
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "A person seldom falls sick, but the bystanders are animated..."
A person seldom falls sick, but the bystanders are animated with a faint hope that he will die. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Next morning I awoke, looked out the window and nearly died of fright. My screams brought Atticus from his bathroom half-shaven. "The world's endin', Atticus! Please do something -!" I dragged him to the window and pointed. "No it's not," he said. "It's snowing. Harper Lee
Florence Nightingale quote: "Rather, ten times, die in the surf, heralding the way to a new..."
Rather, ten times, die in the surf, heralding the way to a new world, than stand idly on the shore. Florence Nightingale
Terry McMillan quote: "Their young live were over, too, except they had to die..."
Their young live were over, too, except they had to die everyday while still breathing. Terry McMillan
My dear fellow,' Burlingame said, 'we sit here on a blind rock careening through space; we are all of us rushing headlong to the grave. Think you the worms will care, when anon they make a meal of you, whether you spent your moment sighing wigless in your chamber, or sacked the golden towns of Montezuma? Lookee, the day's nigh spent; 'tis gone careening into time forever. Not a tale's length past we lined our bowels with dinner, and already they growl for more. We are dying men, Ebenezer:... John Barth
Mark Twain quote: "All say, ‘how hard it is that we have to die’ -- a strange..."
All say, ‘how hard it is that we have to die’ -- a strange complaint to come from the mouths of those who have had to live. Mark Twain
I thought I was going to die there, alone. I thought I would never see you again." He seemed to shake off the memory and leaned back on an elbow, gazing at her with a lop-sided smile on his face."The Shadrin left some scars that aren't healed yet. But I would have to take off my pants to show them to you."Really?" Kahlan gave a throaty laugh. "I think I better have a look... to see if everything is all right. Terry Goodkind
Walter Payton quote: "Never Die Easy"
Never Die Easy Walter Payton
Sylvia Plath quote: "And I a smiling woman. I am only thirty. And like the cat I..."
And I a smiling woman. I am only thirty. And like the cat I have nine times to die. Sylvia Plath
In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair...the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die. Dorothy L. Sayers
