Death Quote by Rick Yancey — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“And if humanity is the last war, then I am the battlefield.”

“We'd stared into the face of Death, and Death blinked first. You'd think that would make us feel brave and invincible. It didn't.”

“Poets never die, I thought. They just fail in the end.”

“You never know when the truth will come home. You can’t choose the time. The time chooses you.”

“One false step, and you’ll fall all the way to Tartarus—and believe me, unlike the Doors of Death, this would be a one-way trip, a very hard fall! I will”

“The death of dogma is the birth of morality.”

“Death often is the point of life's joke.”

“Adam is crying and somewhere inside of me I am crying, too, because I'm feeling things at last. I'm feeling not just the physical pain, but all that I have lost, and it is profound and catastrophic and will leave a crater in me that nothing will ever fill.”

“Waking up was a daily cruelty, an affront, and she avoided it by not sleeping.”

“When a man sees a dying animal, horror comes over him: that which he himself is, his essence, is obviously being annihilated before his eyes--is ceasing to be. But when the dying one is a person, and a beloved person, then, besides a sense of horror at the annihilation of life, there is a feeling of severance and a spiritual wound which, like a physical wound, sometimes kills and sometimes heals, but always hurts and fears any external, irritating touch.”
