Death Quote by Georges Rodenbach — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Մահ ոչ իմացեալ՝ մահ է, մահ իմացեալ՝ անմահութիւն է:”

“When a person dies, they cross over from the realm of freedom to the realm of slavery. Life is freedom, and dying is a gradual denial of freedom. Consciousness first weakens and then disappears. The life-processes – respiration, the metabolism, the circulation – continue for some time, but an irrevocable move has been made towards slavery; consciousness, the flame of freedom, has died out.”

“The wretch, concentred all in self,”

“How fortunate we were who still had hope I did not then realise; I could not know how soon the time would come when we should have no more hope, and yet be unable to die”

“A society that doesn't know any longer how to observe every death with proper rituals, that does not know that death is not the end, but only part of the journey, has lost its way, has had the very heart of its humanity torn out.”

“And that’s when I realize that, at the end, we’d all wish for the same thing. Just a little more time.”
