Death Quote by Sloane Crosley — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“People are less quick to applaud you as you grow older. Life starts out with everyone clapping when you take a poo and goes downhill from there.”

“The children were overwhelmingly morbid. Not a single adult asked me where butterflies go when they die, but this question was more popular than pixie sticks with the under-four-foot set. I cursed parents for not preparing their children. When I was five, my mother and sister sat me up on the kitchen counter and explained the facts of life: the Easter Bunny didn't exist, Elijah was God's invisible friend, with any luck Nana would die soon, and if I ever saw a unicorn, I should kill it or catch it for cash. I turned out okay.”

“From too much love of living”

“You may say suicide is a loss of control and cowardly. Foolish as it may sound, I am prepared to argue.”

“And now let us love and take that which is given us, and be happy; for in the grave there is no love and no warmth, nor any touching of the lips. Nothing perchance, or perchance but bitter memories of what might have been.”

“Perhaps it's better if I live in your heart, where the world can't see me. If I'm dead, there will be no stain on our love.”

“Was it not worth the loss of a little immortality to have that strange mix of innocence and strength close to him?”

“DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING, said Death. JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH.”
