what if there was an uncanny moment when all the birds were grounded from Cape Town to Juneau, and everywhere between--all feathers frozen in a universal stutter, so quick as to make a snail of light, and even Stephen Hawking's mind would miss it? ~ Kristen Henderson
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Kristen Henderson
Come you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build the big bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks. ~ Bob Dylan
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Bob Dylan
I tried to concentrate on the angel's voice instead.
"Bella, please! Bella, listen to me, please, please, please, Bella, please!" he begged.
Yes, I wanted to say. Anything. But I couldn't find my lips.
"Carlisle!" the angel called, agony in his perfect voice. "Bella, Bella, no, oh please, no, no!" And the angel was sobbing tearless, broken sobs.
The angel shouldn't weep, it was wrong. I tried to find him, to tell him everything was fine, but the water was so deep, it was pressing on me, and I couldn't breathe. ~ Stephenie Meyer
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Stephenie Meyer
If people in their 20s had more death awareness, would that in fact temper their ambition or drive? My hunch is yes. It would certainly do something for those who are most ruthless, who tend to make others most miserable. Some sort of greater awareness of their own finiteness and what their time on earth really is, and what they really want to do with their lives, could help improve them. ~ Irvin D. Yalom
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Irvin D. Yalom
It's funny, though, speaking of fathers and sons, because me and John Goodman played father and son, like, five or six years ago in the film 'Death Sentence,' and I got back with him again in 'Inside Llewyn Davis.' ~ Garrett Hedlund
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Garrett Hedlund
I was born tomorrow
today I live
yesterday killed me ~ Parviz Owsia
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Parviz Owsia
And his good wife will tear her cheeks in grief, his sons are orphans and he, soaking the soil red with his own blood, he rots away himself - more birds than women flocking round his body! ~ Homer
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Homer
My cousin Helen, who is in her 90s now, was in the Warsaw ghetto during World War II. She and a bunch of the girls in the ghetto had to do sewing each day. And if you were found with a book, it was an automatic death penalty. She had gotten hold of a copy of 'Gone With the Wind', and she would take three or four hours out of her sleeping time each night to read. And then, during the hour or so when they were sewing the next day, she would tell them all the story. These girls were risking certain death for a story. And when she told me that story herself, it actually made what I do feel more important. Because giving people stories is not a luxury. It's actually one of the things that you live and die for. ~ Neil Gaiman
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Neil Gaiman
All men have a legend because of death. Humanity wasn't legendary any longer: it was a myth. ~ Romain Gary
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Romain Gary
Do you have to sound so damned indifferent to it all? Here we are talking about how we're likely to be dead in a few hours and you're acting like it's only a minor inconvenience.
~"Spirey & the Queen ~ Alastair Reynolds
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Alastair Reynolds
Louis-Cesare. It's good to finally have you in hand. ~ Karen Chance
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Karen Chance
He went in, lean and deadly, and ended the creature with a lightning-fast spike of his blade. It shrieked, likely altering the rest. The death call carried like a mournful song. ~ Ann Aguirre
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Ann Aguirre
All that hath been majestical
In life or death, since time began,
Is native in the simple heart of all,
The angel heat of man. ~ James Russell Lowell
Thanatopsis Death quotes by James Russell Lowell
One death apiece is plenty. ~ Marty Rubin
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Marty Rubin
I am not afraid of death, but would not want to die in some obscure or pointless way. ~ Isabelle Eberhardt
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Isabelle Eberhardt
Even here - running for our lives, sleeping exposed, facing death - even here, in her arms, I was able to find some measure of peace. ~ Ransom Riggs
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Ransom Riggs
Death is close enough at hand so we do not need to be afraid of life. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I? KILL? said Death, obviously offended. CERTAINLY NOT. PEOPLE GET KILLED, BUT THAT'S THEIR BUSINESS. I JUST TAKE OVER FROM THEN ON. AFTER ALL, IT'D BE A BLOODY STUPID WORLD IF PEOPLE GOT KILLED WITHOUT DYING, WOULDN'T IT? ~ Terry Pratchett
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Terry Pratchett
Cause I swear that I'm dying, slowly but its happening. ~ Conor Oberst
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Conor Oberst
The world rolls round forever like a mill; it grinds out death and life and good and ill; it has no purpose, heart or mind or will. ~ James Thomson
Thanatopsis Death quotes by James Thomson
It hurts to be around life. People don't understand how close death is, right over their shoulders, around the block, at the end of a street. It's everywhere. ~ Jessica Sorensen
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Jessica Sorensen
The Fool in the Tarot deck frequently depicted a boy with a dog at his heels, staring at the sky while he walked blithely off a cliff, burdened only by a bundle on a stick. The diabolist had admitted a relationship to the card.

No single detail was quite right, but much as something might appear similar if one were to unfocus their vision…

The young diabolist walked with the sparrow at his shoulder, eyes on the windows without looking through the windows, walking forward as if he were afraid to stop. His burden here was the gas containers.

No, he was burdened not just by the gas containers, but by some notion of responsibility.

A man, when facing death, aspires to finish what he started.

What had the custodian of the Thorburn estate started? What drove him?

She knew he sought to do good and to vanquish evil, and she could surmise that both good acts and the existence of evil had touched him deeply.

The Fool card was akin to the ace. Depending on the game being played, it was often the lowest card or the highest. Valueless or highly valued. Powerless or powerful.

It all depended on context. He sought to kill the demon, and he would either catastrophically fail or succeed.

This Fool sought to slay the metaphorical dragon. He felt his own mortality, which was quite possibly her fault, in part, and now he rushed to finish the task he'd set for himself. To better the world.

Wildbow
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Wildbow
But the attitude that Viking society held up as the ideal one was a heroic stoicism. In the words of archaeologist Neil Price, "The outcome of our actions, our fate, is already decided and therefore does not matter. What is important is the manner of our conduct as we go to meet it." You couldn't change what was going to happen to you, but you could at least face it with honor and dignity. The best death was to go down fighting, preferably with a smile on your lips. Life is precarious by nature, but this was especially true in the Viking Age, which made this fatalism, and stoicism in the face of it, especially poignant.
The model of this ideal was Odin's amassing an army in Valhalla in preparation for Ragnarok. He knew that Fenrir, "the wolf", was going to murder him one way or another. Perhaps on some level he hoped that by gathering all of the best warriors to fight alongside him, he could prevent the inevitable. But deep down he knew that his struggle was hopeless - yet he determined to struggle just the same, and to die in the most radiant blaze of glory he could muster. ~ Daniel McCoy
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Daniel McCoy
The Americans of the United States do not let their dogs hunt the Indians as do the Spaniards in Mexico, but at bottom it is the same pitiless feeling which here, as everywhere else, animates the European race. This world here belongs to us, they tell themselves every day: the Indian race is destined for final destruction which one cannot prevent and which it is not desirable to delay. Heaven has not made them to become civilized; it is necessary that they die. Besides I do not want to get mixed up in it. I will not do anything against them: I will limit myself to providing everything that will hasten their ruin. In time I will have their lands and will be innocent of their death.
Satisfied with his reasoning, the American goes to church where he hears the minister of the gospel repeat every day that all men are brothers, and that the Eternal Being who has made them all in like image, has given them all the duty to help one another. ~ Alexis De Tocqueville
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Alexis De Tocqueville
Unlike those earlier occasions - mourning a lost affection of his youth - this time there is to be no imagining her altered features, her new occupations, no unknown rival or replacement upon whom to project a wild jealousy. For death takes everything, leaves behind no possibilities, save one - which is to remember. Adrian cannot believe with what intensity one can continue to love a person who is dead. Only fools, he believes, think that love is for the living alone. So he sits and watches the sea and thinks of Mamakay. ~ Aminatta Forna
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Aminatta Forna
I am afraid of death. I believe nothing, and therefore like many who believe nothing I must make something, and that something is the meaning which I give my life. ~ Anne Rice
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Anne Rice
Death is the only certainty in life. The moment we are born, our journey towards our final destination begins. It's the beauty or the ugliness of that journey that defines our life; the distances covered varying in each case. Every flower that has bloomed in the free breeze of spring has to wither in the cruel icy autumn draught. ~ Anurag Shourie
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Anurag Shourie
Death IS an illusion. The body dies. The soul/spirit lives forever. YOU are the sum total of ALL you survey. Who would know you and not know your name? __Kat Kaelin ~ Kat Kaelin
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Kat Kaelin
Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other. ~ Deepak Chopra
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Deepak Chopra
Perhaps the easiest way of making a town's acquaintance is to ascertain how the people in it work, how they love, and how they die. ~ Albert Camus
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Albert Camus
My biggest fear of death is to come back reincarnated ~ Tupac Shakur
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Tupac Shakur
A vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Isreal. ~ Samuel J. Wurzelbacher
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Samuel J. Wurzelbacher
While Christianity was able to agree with pagan writers that inordinate attachment to earthly goods can lead to unnecessary pain and grief, it also taught that the answer to this was not to love things less but to love God more than anything else. Only when our greatest love is God, a love that we cannot lose even in death, can we face all things with peace. Grief was not to be eliminated but seasoned and buoyed up with love and hope. ~ Timothy Keller
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Timothy Keller
We do not look on death the way you do, farang. My closest colleagues grasp my arm and one or two embrace me. No one says sorry. Would you be sorry for a sunset? ~ John Burdett
Thanatopsis Death quotes by John Burdett
I was in a garden at the Rodin Museum. For a few minutes I was alone, sitting on a bench between two long hedges of roses. Pink roses. Suddenly I felt the most powerful feeling of peace, and I had the thought that death, if it means an absorption into a reality like the one that was before me, might be all right. ~ Irving Howe
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Irving Howe
During a long and varied career as a bachelor, I have noticed that marriage is the death of politeness between a man and a woman. ~ Arnold Bennett
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Arnold Bennett
We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another. ~ J. Robert Oppenheimer
Thanatopsis Death quotes by J. Robert Oppenheimer
He really had been through death, but he had returned because he could not bear the solitude. ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Death has me in his bed and I would not be content without those words said ~ Rose D. Cassidy
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Rose D. Cassidy
It was such an easy thing, death. He saw that now: It just happened. You screwed up by a fraction and there it was, something chill and odorless, ballooning out from the four stupid corners of the room, your mother's Barrytown living room. ~ William Gibson
Thanatopsis Death quotes by William Gibson
A writer can never know ultimate success, for his true success comes through still being read centuries after his death. ~ Anthony North
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Anthony North
Q. What is your only comfort in life and death? A. That I, with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Savior Jesus Christ; who with his precious blood has fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head; yea, that all things must be subservient to my salvation, wherefore by his Holy Spirit he also assures me of eternal life, and makes me heartily willing and ready, henceforth, to live unto him ~ Zacharias Ursinus
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Zacharias Ursinus
The way of Jesus is thus not a set of beliefs about Jesus. That people ever thought it was is strange, when we think about it - as if one entered new life by believing certain things to be true, or as if the only people who can be saved are those who know the word "Jesus". Thinking that way virtually amounts to salvation by syllables.
Rather, the way of Jesus is the way of death and resurrection - the path of transition and transformation from an old way of being to a new way of being. To use the language of incarnation that is so central to John, Jesus incarnates the way. Incarnation means embodiment. Jesus is what the way embodied in a human life looks like. ~ Marcus J. Borg
Thanatopsis Death quotes by Marcus J. Borg
