Death Quote by David Wroblewski — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Just when normal life felt almost possible - when the world held some kind of order, meaning, even loveliness (the prismatic spray of light through an icicle; the stillness of a sunrise), some small thing would go awry and the veil of optimism was torn away, the barren world revealed. They learned, somehow, to wait those times out. There was no cure, no answer, no reparation.”

“...do you actually think that how long a person grieves is a measure of how much they loved someone?”

“It was one thing to live in a world where death stood a distant figure, quite another to hold it in your hands.”

“You need to be greedy or ignorant to truly want to live forever.”

“John: 'Have mercy. I don't want to die!'”

“When you go against the flow of nature and betray the spiritual laws existing within, there is, and always will be, a negative reaction. Those who try escaping life before fate shakes their hand, will forever be stuck on earth, chained to the place they so badly wanted to leave. What a complicated misery. I guarantee you it will be torture to be invisible and ignored by those you love when you can see them - but you are already dead for them to hear you utter another word. Talk about agony, more so, than remaining on this plane and continuing your spiritual cycle as it was written to be lived.”

“If only I could tell someone.”

“At the door of life, by the gate of breath,”

“We each owe a death, there are no exceptions, I know that, but sometimes, oh God, the Green Mile is so long.”
