Death Quote by Carlos Ruiz Zafón — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“People talk too much. Humans aren't descended from monkeys. They come from parrots.”

“Don't be bashful; we're among gentlemen. It's a known fact that we men are the missing link between the pirate and the pig.”

“Books are mirrors: you only see in them what you already have inside you.”

“If there is a god, or hundreds of them, I hope they will forgive me for the harm I may have inflicted on you by telling you exactly what happened.”

“Few things are more deceptive than memories.”

“Remember me, even if it's only in a corner and secretly. Don't let me go.”

“You tell yourself it would be best for her to die. You tell yourself that if now, at this hour of the night, she died, it would be easier. For you, you probably mean, but you don't finish the sentence.”

“As human beings, we're born believing that we are the apex of creation, that we are invincible, that no problem exists that we cannot solve. But we inevitably die with all our beliefs broken.”

“What I look forward to is continued immaturity followed by death.”

“Nothing is permanent. The only thing any of us have in common is the inevitable.”

“I thought I loved him when he went away; I love him now in another degree: he is more my own. [ . . . ] Oh! a thousand weepers, praying in agony on waiting shores, listened for that voice, but it was not uttered--not uttered till; when the hush came, some could not feel it: till, when the sun returned, his light was night to some!”

“Some leave our life with tears, others with an insane frigidity; Mrs. Wilcox had taken the middle course, which only rarer natures can pursue. She had kept proportion. She had told a little of her grim secret to her friends, but not too much; she had shut up her heart--almost, but not entirely. It is thus, if there is any rule, that we ought to die--neither as victim nor as fanatic, but as the seafarer who can greet with an equal eye the deep that he is entering, and the shore that he must leave.”
