Death Quote by Guy de Maupassant — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“A human being - what is a human being? Everything and nothing. Through the power of thought it can mirror everything it experiences. Through memory and knowledge it becomes a microcosm, carrying the world within itself. A mirror of things, a mirror of facts. Each human being becomes a little universe within the universe!”

“In fact living is dying.”

“The past attracts me, the present frightens me, because the future is death.”

“For a number of years he had lived, eaten, laughed, loved, hoped, like everyone else. And for him it was over, over for good. A life! A few days, and then nothing! You're born, you grow up, you're happy, you wait, then you die. Goodbye! Man or woman, you'll never return to this earth! And yet each of us bears within him the fierce, unrealizable longing for eternity, each of us is a kind of universe within the universe, and each of us soon vanishes completely into the dunghill of new organisms. Plants, animals, men, stars, worlds, everything quickens, then dies, in order to transform itself. And nothing ever returns, whether insect, man, or planet!”

“What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.”

“You have tasted of death now,” said the old man. “Is it good?”

“That's the beautiful thing about innocence; even monsters have a pocketful of childhood memories with which to seek comfort with.”

“Who said, 'All Time's delight”
