Death Quote by Steven Decker — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“When the light reached its zenith, the group of 1,000 Travelers down below could no longer be seen. Suddenly, the intense light ceased to be, returning the lighting of the stadium to a normal level. Dani felt a moment of disorientation, but she soon recovered and looked down at an empty stadium.”

“After lunch, they went for a walk around the island. The sun was out, but the wind was brisk, bringing a chill into their hands and faces. They arrived at the viewing point on the northwest corner of the island. The waves from the Atlantic crashed relentlessly against the rocks. They took a seat together on a large, smooth stone and gazed out at the sea and the barrier islands. Orla sat between Aideen and Dani. They all held hands. For a while, no words were spoken, but then Orla broke the silence. “What do ya’ think will happen to us in 2253?” she asked.”

“She’d always loved the mountains, but as she turned back to face the spectacular seascape in the distance, she nearly lost her breath at the diversity of beauty to be found on this ancient, tiny island. She remembered a thought she’d had, just briefly, during her first day ever walking in Ireland, when they were going down through the forest on the way from Glenmalure to Glendalough. I could live my life doing this, she’d thought. And she’d done that, for a while.”

“The sound of a thousand whispering ghosts surrounded her.”

“Each time I fail to think about death, I have the impression of cheating, of deceiving someone in me.”

“We have once again succeeded in destroying what we could not create.”

“And when suddenly”

“Dreams link us to those who have already left this life.”

“Cada suspiro es como un sorbo de vida del que uno se deshace.”

“One to be a murderer. One to be a Martyr. One to be a Monarch. One to go Mad”
