Death Quote by Jim Crace — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“And everything soon must change. Men would set their watches by other suns than this. Or time would vanish. We would need no personal names of the old sort in the sidereal future, nothing being fixed. We would be designated by other nouns. Days and nights would belong to the museums. The earth a memorial park, a merry-go-round cemetery. The seas powdering our bones like quartz, making sand, grinding our peace for us by the aeon. Well, that would be good - a melancholy good.”

“In a world where everyone struggles to survive whatever the cost, how could one judge those who decide to die?”

“Could she smell my breath? Could she hear my cursed circular heart beat revolving like the crime it is in my deathly chest?”

“Death is the sanction of everything the story-teller can tell. He has borrowed his authority from death.”

“Як умру, то поховайте”

“The funny thing about facing imminent death is that it really snaps everything else into perspective.”
