―
Woody Allen

the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”
―
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
“Love
never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its
source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and
wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”

Anais Nin
“I
wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So
do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But
that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the
time that is given us.”

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
“I'm
the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life
the way I want to.”

ends a life, not a relationship.”

got an Invisibility Cloak?" Harry interrupted again.
"So
he can sneak up on people," said Ron. "Sometimes he gets bored of
running at them, flapping his arms and shrieking...”

J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
“I
DON'T CARE!" Harry yelled at them, snatching up a lunascope and throwing
it into the fireplace. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT, I
WANT IT TO END, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!"
"You
do care," said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to
stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached.
"You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain
of it.”
―
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
“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.”
―
Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid
“A
thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.”

true, it's called Life.”
―
Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent
“I
do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I
was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”
―
Mark Twain
“I
don't want to die without any scars.”
―
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
“When
he shall die,
Take
him and cut him out in little stars,
And
he will make the face of heaven so fine
That
all the world will be in love with night
And
pay no worship to the garish sun.”
―
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
“Life
should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a
pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of
smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow!
What a Ride!”
―
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman,
1955-1967
“It
kills me sometimes, how people die.”
―
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
“Unbeing
dead isn't being alive.”
― E.
E. Cummings
“My
dear,
Find
what you love and let it kill you.
Let
it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual
nothingness.
Let
it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For
all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be
killed by a lover.
~
Falsely yours”
―
Kinky Friedman
“Life
is for the living.
Death
is for the dead.
Let
life be like music.
And
death a note unsaid.”
―
Langston Hughes, The Collected Poems
