Death Quote by Gabrielle Zevin — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“If this were a novel, I'd stop reading right now. I'd throw it across the room.”

“Saying you're through with romance is like saying you're done with living, Betty. Life is better with a little romance, you know.”

“Death is a state of mind---many people on Earth spend their entire lives dead.”

“Harry, you wonderful boy, you brave, brave man.”

“Why is edamame always ready to expire? It´s so urgent for a vegetable. Edamame. It sounds like an assisted form of suicide. Is there an advertising concept in this?”

“We're not words, Henry, we're people.”

“And in me too the wave rises. It swells; it arches its back. I am aware once more of a new desire, something rising beneath me like the proud horse whose rider first spurs and then pulls him back. What enemy do we now perceive advancing against us, you whom I ride now, as we stand pawing this stretch of pavement? It is death. Death is the enemy. It is death against whom I ride with my spear couched and my hair flying back like a young man's, like Percival's, when he galloped in India. I strike spurs into my horse. Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!”

“Death is more merciful than hope itself! There is nothing surprising in this, for death is divinely appointed, while hope is the creation of human folly. Both end in frustration. Am I destined to lead a life of endless frustration?”
