Death Quote by Roman Payne — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I'm not ashamed of heroic ambitions. If man and woman can only dance upon this earth for a few countable turns of the sun... let each of us be an Artemis, Odysseus, or Zeus... Aphrodite to the extent of the will of each one.”

“We made love outdoors”

“I took her to bed with silk and song”

“With the need for the self in the time of another / I left my seaport grim and dear / knowing good work could be made / in the state governed by both Hope and Despair.”

“I fancied my luck to be witnessing yet another full moon. True, I’d seen hundreds of full moons in my life, but they were not limitless. When one starts thinking of the full moon as a common sight that will come again to one’s eyes ad-infinitum, the value of life is diminished and life goes by uncherished. ‘This may be my last moon,’ I sighed, feeling a sudden sweep of sorrow; and went back to reading more of The Odyssey.”

“The season was waning fast”

“We are all resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.”

“I wish I could recommend the experience of not being killed to everyone.”

“Now, consider this.”

“I watch my loved ones weep with sorrow,”

“There was no hope in death, only an end.”
