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

“Be strong, live happy and love, but first of all”

“How can I live without thee, how forego”

“While he was waiting, leaning on the counter at a coffee place, he remembered the dream he'd had the night before about Antonio Jones, who had been dead for several years now. As before, he asked himself what Jones could have died of, and the one answer that occurred to him was old age. One day, walking down some street in Brooklyn, Antonio Jones had felt tired, sat down on the sidewalk, and a second later stopped existing.”
