Death Quote by Tom Robbins — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Bones are patient. Bones never tire nor do they run away. When you come upon a man who has been dead many years, his bones will still be lying there, in place, content, patiently waiting, but his flesh will have gotten up and left him. Water is like flesh. Water will not stand still. It is always off to somewhere else; restless, talkative, and curious. Even water in a covered jar will disappear in time. Flesh is water. Stones are like bones. Satisfied. Patient. Dependable. Tell me, then, Alobar, in order to achieve immortality, should you emulate water or stone? Should you trust your flesh or your bones?”

“...disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business....”

“Death is impatient and thoughtless. It barges into your room when you are right in the middle of something, and it doesn't bother to wipe its boots.”

“Who knows how to make love stay?”

“Having made the decision to love, had I chosen life instead of death?”

“All political parties die at last of swallowing their own lies.”

“The Angel of Death is always a young person, or a group of young people, you'll begin seeing them left and right soon.”

“Here be dragons to be slain, here be rich rewards to gain;”

“She started thinking about all the euphemisms for death, all the anxious taboos that had always fascinated her. It was too bad you could never have an intelligent discussion on the subject. People were either too young or too old, or else they didn't have time.”

“You smile upon your friend to-day,”
