Death Quote by John Donne — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Only our love hath no decay;”

“Go and catch a falling star,”

“Our two souls therefore, which are one,”

“My face in thine eye, thine in mine appeares,”

“I am two fools, I know,”

“Never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.”

“Relax. They're not going to kill us. They're going to TRY and kill us. And that is a very different thing.”

“Man cannot possess anything as long as he fears death. But to him who does not fear it, everything belongs. If there was no suffering, man would not know his limits, would not know himself.”

“The theology of the average colored church is basing itself far too much upon 'Hell and Damnation'—upon an attempt to scare people into being decent and threatening them with the terrors of death and punishment.”

“But before you start pointing fingers, let me ask you: is what I did really so bad? So bad I deserved to die? So bad I deserved to die like”

“John: 'Have mercy. I don't want to die!'”

“but all life is a symphony of successive losses. You lose your youth, your parents, your loves, your friends, your comforts, your health, and finally your life. To deny loss is to lose it all anyway and to lose, in addition, your self-possession and your peace of mind”
