Death Quote by Linda Howard — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I'm not holding you against your will; I'm holding you against your car.”

“Do you want to know why men name their penis? So the most important decisions in their life aren't made by a stranger.”

“Is it time for your period, or something?”

“I wonder how it takes you, that moment when everything turns to shadows. - Somerled.”

“When writers die they become books, which is, after all, not too bad an incarnation.”

“In her mind's eye she saw it, saw it all at last: the rolling armies and the flames of battle; the graves and pits and dying cries of a hundred million souls; the spreading darkness, like a black wing stretching over the earth; the last, bitter hours of cruelty and sorrow, and the terrible, final flights; death's great dominion over all, and, at the last, empty cities, becalmed by the silence of a hundred years. Already these things were coming to pass.”

“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.”

“There was a roaring in my ears and I lost track of what they were saying. I believe it was the physical manifestation of unbearable grief.”
