Death Quote by George Sterling — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“And starward drifts the stricken world,”

“Be sure that head and heart were laid”

“Till her appointed course be run;”

“A prison becomes a home when you have the key.”

“And fragile is thy tenure of this world”

“Choking with dry tears and raging, raging, raging at the absolute indifference of nature and the world to the death of love, the death of hope and the death of beauty, I remember sitting on the end of my bed, collecting these pills and capsules together and wondering why, why when I felt I had so much to offer, so much love, such outpourings of love and energy to spend on the world, I was incapable of being offered love, giving it or summoning the energy with which I knew I could transform myself and everything around me.”

“Birth and death were easy. It was life that was hard.”

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

“I love you now... I love you immortally, even if I die and there is nothing left of me.”

“The line between life and death is narrow and dark, and a bereaved twin lives closer to it than most.”

“Books are finite, sexual encounters are finite, but the desire to read and to fuck is infinite; it surpasses our own deaths, our fears, our hopes for peace.”
