There was a time when I was nothing but glib. Nothing but dry witty sarcastic and assholish. That time seems to come to a close with death. I know that there are times when I will be sad, When i will remember the times that have gone by and i will be saddened but right now? I just want to live. I want to enjoy life. So Ive decided that im going to spend one last day to be sad and mourn and then Im just saying fuck it. To end this final day. I am listing a few quotes about death that I remember or Ive snagged off the net.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman:
Death? Why this fuss about death. Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! ... Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil.
Ecclesiastes:
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Ernest Becker:
The irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive.
James F. Bymes:
Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death
Isaac Asimov:
Robert Fulghum:If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster.
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.
Gilda Radner:
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.
