Death Quote by Jandy Nelson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Everyone has always said I look like Bailey, but I don't.”

“grief is a house”

“it's okay to be addicted to beauty," Mom says, all dreamy. "Emerson said 'beauty is God's handwriting.”

“I drop on my back on the bed, panting and sweating. How will I survive this missing? How do others do it? People die all the time. Every day. Every hour. There are families all over the world staring at beds that are no longer slept in, shoes that are no longer worn. Families that no longer have to buy a particular cereal, a kind of shampoo. There are people everywhere standing in line at the movies, buying curtains, walking dogs, while inside, their hearts are ripping to shreds. For years. For their whole lives. I don't believe time heals. I don't want it to. If I heal, doesn't that mean I've accepted the world without her?”

“At the end, one didn't remember life as a whole but as just a string of moments.”

“Lord help my poor soul.”

“Death must exist for life to have meaning.”

“Because there is no glory in illness. There is no meaning to it. There is no honor in dying of.”

“Just being alive should make you late for everything. In case you've never noticed, the dead are always on time.”

“Not easy to state the change you made.”
