death

"Kill me, or you are a murderer."

"Before I go,"he said, and paused -- "I may kiss her?"It was remembered afterwards that when he bent down and touched her face with his lips, he murmured some words. The child, who was nearest to him, told them afterwards, and told her grandchildren when she was a handsome old lady, that she heard him say, "A life you love."

"She was a wolf. She was death, devourer of the worlds."

"If we knew a person was going to die, we'd hold harder to the memories."Fire corrected him, in a whisper. "The good memories."

"The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."

"I thought of you and how you love this beauty,And walking up the long beach all aloneI heard the waves breaking in measured thunderAs you and I once heard their monotone.Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond meThe cold and sparkling silver of the sea --We two will pass through death and ages lengthenBefore you hear that sound again with me."

"في داخلي شُرْفَةٌلا يَمُرُّ بها أَحَدٌ للتَّحيَّة."

"But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,If I am dead, as dead I well may be,You'll come and find the place where I am lying,And kneel and say Ave there for me,And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,For you will bend and tell me that you love me,And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me"

"Death is unstoppable. One must face it as a fact of life"

"Why does death have to stop #love? It doesn’t stop people from voting in Chicago."

"To study philosophy is nothing but to prepare one’s self to die."

"I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it.It's just getting out of one car, and into another."

"Unless their use by readers bring them to life, books are indeed dead things."

"Death isn't peaceful; it is just nothing. Everything is gone. No more sunrises, no more hopes, no more fears. Nothing."

"Cada suspiro es como un sorbo de vida del que uno se deshace."

"I cannot tell you what it is that guides us in this life; but for me, I fell toward the Chairman just as a stone must fall toward the earth. When I cut my lip and met Mr. Tanaka, when my mother died and I was cruelly sold, it was all like a stream that falls over rocky cliffs before it can reach the ocean. Even now that he is gone I have him still, in the richness of my memories."

"When he said to give him the sword, I don’t think he meant for you to stick it in his guts."

"So, what do you do when you know you have two days to live? Eat an entire Bitter Chocolate Death cake all by myself. Reread my favorite novel. Buy eight dozen roses from the best florist in town--the super expensive ones, the ones that smell like roses rather than merely looking like them--and put them all over my apartment. Take a good long look at everyone I love."

"Just when normal life felt almost possible - when the world held some kind of order, meaning, even loveliness (the prismatic spray of light through an icicle; the stillness of a sunrise), some small thing would go awry and the veil of optimism was torn away, the barren world revealed. They learned, somehow, to wait those times out. There was no cure, no answer, no reparation."

"I am afraid. Not of life, or death, or nothingness, but of wasting it as if I had never been."
