Death Quote by George Sterling — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The candle glimmers but an hour. The night”

“And fragile is thy tenure of this world”

“Till her appointed course be run;”

“A prison becomes a home when you have the key.”

“Be sure that head and heart were laid”

“You can still be cool when you’re dead. In fact, it’s much easier, because you aren’t getting old and fat and losing your hair.”

“Yer a good lad, Atticus, mowin’ me lawn and killin’ what Brits come around.”

“Embryos think with each stage of their development that they have now reached the only condition that really suits them. This, they say, must certainly be their last, inasmuch as its close will be so great a shock that nothing can survive it. Every change is a shock; every shock is a pro tanto death. What we call death is only a shock great enough to destroy our power to recognize a past and a present as resembling one another.”

“The heaviness of loss in her heart hadn't eased, but there was room there for humour, too.”

“This is where the evening splits in half, Henry, love or death. Grab an end, pull hard, and make a wish.”

“There are always two deaths, the real one and the one people know about.”
