Death Quote by Stephen Crane — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“When the prophet, a complacent fat man,”

“I WALKED IN A DESERT.”

“And it was as if fate had betrayed the soldier. In death it exposed to his enemies that poverty which in life he had perhaps concealed from his friends.”

“Two or three angels”

“When the suicide arrived at the sky, the people there asked him: "Why?" He replied: "Because no one admired me.”

“Death is going to take the boundaries away from us, that we should no more be persons. That's what death is about. When that is what life also wants to be about, how can you feel except rebellious?”

“I'm going to put death in all their food and watch them die.”

“The rapt pupil will be forgiven for assuming the Tsar of Death to be wicked and the Tsar of Life to be virtuous. Let the truth be told: There is no virtue anywhere. Life is sly and unscrupulous, a blackguard, wolfish, severe. In service to itself, it will commit any offense. So, too, is Death possessed of infinite strategies and a gaunt nature- but also mercy, also grace and tenderness. In his own country, Death can be kind.”

“If men only felt about death as they do about sleep, all terrors would cease. . . Men sleep contentedly, assured that they will wake the following morning. They should feel the same about their lives.”

“You need to be greedy or ignorant to truly want to live forever.”

“Death is as unexpected in his caprice as a courtesan in her disdain; but death is truer – Death has never forsaken any man”
