#dying quote

[thanatophobia-thoughts]

A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist

Stewart Alsop

[lunam-et-atticae]

Tell him yes. Even if you are dying of fear, even if you are sorry later, because whatever you do, you will be sorry all the rest of your life if you say no.

Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

[pardiswrites]

I will die in sin. I will not die hands clasped, head high, asking to be saved. My end will be penned with wine and lust. I will lay sloth. I will pride myself on being unending even when I am unnerved by the truth that falls away from the sentiment. I have spent my entire life serving a God who may not exist. I will die in love and in sin and I will not apologize.

I think about dying, but I don't want to die. Not even close. In fact my problem is the complete opposite. I want to live, I want to escape. I feel trapped and bored and claustrophobic. There's so much to see and so much to do but I somehow still find myself doing nothing at all. I'm still here in this metaphorical bubble of existence and I can't quite figure out what the hell I'm doing or how to get out of it.

Death is just the end of dying.

I really should talk to him. He’s had a near-death experience!” “We all have. It’s called living.

Terry Pratchett (Hogfather)

Tell your friend that in his death, a part of you dies and goes with him. Wherever he goes, you also go. He will not be alone.

Jiddu Krishnamurti
