Death Quote by Alan Bradley — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Vaporized by the sun! Wasn't that what the universe had in store for all of us? There would come a day when the sun exploded like a red balloon, and everyone on earth would be reduced in less than a camera flash to carbon. Didn't Genesis say as much?”

“I remembered a piece of sisterly advice, which Feely once gave Daffy and me:”

“Anyone who knew the word slattern was worth cultivating as a friend.”

“If the thing they were fighting for was important enough to die for then it was also important enough for them to be thinking about it in the last minutes of their lives. That stood to reason. Life is awfully important so if you've given it away you'd ought to think with all your mind in the last moments of your life about the thing you traded it for. So did all those kids die thinking of democracy and freedom and liberty and honor and the safety of the home and the stars and stripes forever?”

“Good Madonna, why mournest thou?”

“Trees still grow after letting dead things go.”

“When it is winter and we must walk in the blizzard snow do not our fingers and toes whisper death  And when winter is at last over. . .can we not hear our bellies whisper death to us  In the dark don't we know  And when we are paralyzed by nightmares  We know what you are.  With our first cries we rail against you.  We see you in every drop of blood in every tear.”

“Life isn't fair. A fair's a place where you eat corn dogs and ride the ferris wheel.”
