Death Quote by Arthur Golden — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I cannot tell you what it is that guides us in this life; but for me, I fell toward the Chairman just as a stone must fall toward the earth. When I cut my lip and met Mr. Tanaka, when my mother died and I was cruelly sold, it was all like a stream that falls over rocky cliffs before it can reach the ocean. Even now that he is gone I have him still, in the richness of my memories.”

“At the temple there is a poem called "Loss" carved into the stone. It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out. You cannot read loss, only feel it.”

“It’s less a matter of looking the other way than of closing our eyes to what we can’t stop from happening.”

“I began to feel that all the people I'd ever known who had died or left me had not in fact gone away, but continued to live on inside me just as this man's wife lived on inside him.”

“Flowers that grow where old ones have withered serve to remind us that death will one day come to us all.”

“When a stone is dropped into a pond, the water continues quivering even after the stone has sunk to the bottom.”

“Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.”

“It's unfair.”

“The clear awareness of having been born into a losing struggle need not lead one into despair. I do not especially”

“Celaena knew where she was before she awoke. And she didn't care. She was living the same story again and again.”

“If death, said my father, reasoning with himself, is nothing but the separation of the soul from the body;--and if it is true that people can walk about and do their business without brains,--then certes the soul does not inhabit there.”

“That is, Jack thought, the way of life. The horror changes us, because we can never forget. Cursed with memory. It starts when we're old enough to know what death is and realize that sooner or later we'll lose everyone we love. We're never the same. But somehow we're all right. We go on.”
