death

"Not much music left inside us for life to dance to. Our youth has gone to the ends of the earth to die in the silence of the truth. And where, I ask you, can a man escape to, when he hasn't enough madness left inside him? The truth is an endless death agony. The truth is death. You have to choose: death or lies. I've never been able to kill myself."

"I melted into the dream as if I had always been there. I knew where I had come from; I knew where I was going."

"If you are a Buddhist, inspire yourself by thinking of the bodhisattva. If you are a Christian, think of the Christ, who came not to be served by others but to serve them in joy, in peace, and in generosity. For these things, these are not mere words, but acts, which go all the way, right up to their last breath. Even their death is a gift, and resurrection is born from this kind of death. (157)"

"Tell me what it is like to die,"I answered. He dismounted from his horse, looking at me strangely the whole while. "You experience something similar every day,"he said softly. "It is as familiar to you as bread and butter.""Yes,"I said. "It is like every night when I fall asleep.""No. It is like every morning when you wake up."

"Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things."

"Death isn't the end, it's the beginning."

"O weep for Adonis - He is dead.""Peace. He is not dead he doth not sleep - he hath wakened from the dream of life"

"Because God is never cruel, there is a reason for all things. We must know the pain of loss; because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others, and we would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed self-interest. The terrible pain of loss teaches humility to our prideful kind, has the power to soften uncaring hearts, to make a better person of a good one."

"No truth can cure the sorrow we feel from losing a loved one. No truth, no sincerity, no strength, no kindness can cure that sorrow. All we can do is see it through to the end and learn something from it, but what we learn will be no help in facing the next sorrow that comes to us without warning."

"Our life is made by the death of others."

"Together kabobs make the world better than all the Bobs combined. Well, at least ever since Bob Ross moved on to the land of the happy trees."

"and realized that death was not only a permanent probability, as he had always believed, but an immediate reality."

"Embrace the probability of your imminent death....and know there is nothing i can do to save you."

"I want to scream sometimes, because I hate when people refer to a dead person as the “late” so and so. I’m sorry to break that bad news, but that person isn’t just late—they’re not even coming!"

"Yes, it's a well-known fact about you: you're like death, you take everything."

"Would it hurt to die?"

"When I die, remember to remove my body from the cooler before you start making the hunch punch. But by all means, do get drunk on my memory."

"It's a time of sorrow and sadness when we lose a loss of life."

"The bad news is the butcher’s dead. The good news is there’ll be no need for a funeral, and I’ve got enough meat to last for weeks."

"A tomb now suffices him for whom the world was not enough.[Alexander's tombstone epitaph]"
