Death Quote by Robert Jordan — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I always say, if you must mount the gallows, give a jest to the crowd, a coin to the hangman, and make the drop with a smile on your lips.”

“You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. Perhaps even the most important part. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway.”

“Burn you, Nerim, that's a leg not a bloody side of beef!”

“A man falling off a cliff to certain death will stretch out a hand even to his worst enemy.”

“What is too absurd to be believed is believed because it is too absurd to be a lie.”

“There is some delight in ale and wine”

“One day you'll call me Death.”

“Yes, it's a well-known fact about you: you're like death, you take everything.”

“Corpses sour you. They are bad for objectivity.”

“John Lennon said life was what happened while you made other plans. So was death.”

“It struck Mort with sudden, terrible poignancy that Death must be the loneliest creature in the universe. In the great party of Creation, he was always in the kitchen.”

“No one is adequate to comprehending the misery of my lot! Fate obliges me to be constantly in movement: I am not permitted to pass more than a fortnight in the same place. I have no Friend in the world, and from the restlessness of my destiny I never can acquire one. Fain would I lay down my miserable life, for I envy those who enjoy the quiet of the Grave: But Death eludes me, and flies from my embrace. In vain do I throw myself in the way of danger. I plunge into the Ocean; The Waves throw me back with abhorrence upon the shore: I rush into fire; The flames recoil at my approach: I oppose myself to the fury of Banditti; Their swords become blunted, and break against my breast: The hungry Tiger shudders at my approach, and the Alligator flies from a Monster more horrible than itself. God has set his seal upon me, and all his Creatures respect this fatal mark!”
