Famous Quotes & Sayings

Julius Rosenberg

Carson McCullers

Death is the great gamer with a sleeve of tricks.

Daniel Handler

It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.

Charles Bukowski

There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death.

Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them.... Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.

Ben Parr
