Death Quote by Ellen Raskin — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I looked upon the sea, it was to be my grave”

“It is unfortunate for the gods that, unlike us, they cannot commit suicide.”

“In Mongolia, when a dog dies, he is buried high in the hills so people cannot walk on his grave. The dog’s master whispers in the dog’s ear his wishes that the dog will return as a man in his next life. Then his tail is cut off and put beneath his head, and a piece of meat of fat is cut off and placed in his mouth to sustain his soul for its journey; before he is reincarnated, the dog’s soul is freed to travel the land, to run across the high desert plains for as long as it would like.”

“How do you mourn something that never really belonged to you?”

“Here lies one from a distant star, but the soil is not alien to him, for in death he belongs to the universe.”

“Call no man happy, said Shadow, until he is dead”
