Death Quote by Laurence Gonzales — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

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

“That which has died falls not out of the universe. If it stays here, it also changes here, and is dissolved into its proper parts, which are elements of the universe and of thyself. And these too change, and they murmur not".”

“Well, as to that, all I'll say is, you can't take out a fellow's heart before he's ready to give it up.”

“They say that just before you die your whole life flashes before your eyes, but that's not how it happened for me.”

“He comes down next to me, and when I hold out my hand, he takes it. Our fingers lace together. And in that feeling, that perfect feeling of our hands and fingers pressed together, I want to tell him everything. I want to tell him about Josh, and his sister, Emily. I want to tell him about tall, crazy Gert. I want to tell him about bridges and funerals, and most of all, maps. More than anything else, I want to tell him about myself. I want to tell him that I know what things look like from above now. There's so much I want to tell him, because I know he'll understand.”
