Death Quote by May Sarton — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The Fur Person learned then and there that it is better to be a philosopher than to be a king and that, all things considered, wisdom was to be preferred to power.”

“A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself.”

“Without darkness, nothing comes to birth, As without light, nothing flowers.”

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.”

“Where music thundered let the mind be still,”

“A garden is always a series of losses set against a few triumphs, like life itself.”

“Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you.”

“So, what do you do when you know you have two days to live? Eat an entire Bitter Chocolate Death cake all by myself. Reread my favorite novel. Buy eight dozen roses from the best florist in town--the super expensive ones, the ones that smell like roses rather than merely looking like them--and put them all over my apartment. Take a good long look at everyone I love.”

“That is a dream also; only he has remained asleep, while you have awakened; and who knows which of you is the most fortunate?”

“While death and darkness girdle me”

“We've been very lonely, but we had it easy. Because death is so heavy - we, too young to know about it, couldn't handle it. After this you and I may end up seeing nothing but suffering, difficulty and ugliness, but if only you'll agree to it, I want for us to go on to more difficult places, happier places, what ever comes, together. I want you to make the decision after you're completely better, so take your time thinking about it. In the mean time, though, don't disappear on me.”
