Death Quote by Guy de Maupassant — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The only certainty is death.”

“A human being - what is a human being? Everything and nothing. Through the power of thought it can mirror everything it experiences. Through memory and knowledge it becomes a microcosm, carrying the world within itself. A mirror of things, a mirror of facts. Each human being becomes a little universe within the universe!”

“In fact living is dying.”

“The past attracts me, the present frightens me, because the future is death.”

“Saving You”

“Nothing dies in Hell.”

“How could the death of someone you had never met affect you so?”

“I thought about suicide all the time, but it seemed toomuch effort, swallowing all those pills or jumping off things. If I'd lived out in the country I would have found a quiet stretch of railway track, and lain on it, fallen asleep, so that I would never have known when my last moment came. In London, the minimum tube fare had gone up so much that even to get near the line cost a fortune. Suicide seemed an extravagance I couldn't afford. People never leave you alone, either; I knew that if I'd tried to lie down on the line, any number of commuters would have pulled me off again, so that I didn't delay their train.”

“when you came you cried and everybody smiled with joy; when you go smile and let the world cry for you.”

“The dead can survive as part of the lives of those that still live.”
