Death Quote by Margaret Atwood — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“If you really want to stay the same age you are now forever and ever, she'd be thinking, try jumping off the roof: death's a sure-fire method for stopping time.”

“You shouldn't do that," said Laura. "You could set yourself on fire.”

“A Paradox, the doughnut hole. Empty space, once, but now they've learned to market even that. A minus quantity; nothing, rendered edible. I wondered if they might be used-metaphorically, of course-to demonstrate the existence of God. Does naming a sphere of nothingness transmute it into being?”

“In “Victorian Literature”, I taught George Eliot’s great novel Middlemarch. The younger group hated it: the characters in it made the wrong decisions and married the wrong people, and they themselves were never going to make such mistakes. The older group loved it: the characters in it made the wrong decisions and married the wrong people - it was just like real life.”

“Where do the words go”

“The truth is seldom welcome, especially at dinner.”

“Till her appointed course be run;”

“For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts.”

“When his brain died, all of the memories”

“Though he plunged into work as another man might have plunged into dissipation, to drown the thought of her, you could see that he had no longer any interest in it; he no longer loved it. He attacked it with a fury that had more hate in it than love.”

“Being unable to cure death, wretchedness and ignorance, men have decided, in order to be happy, not to think about such things.”

“For he who lives more lives than one more deaths than one must die.”
