Death Quote by Lionel Johnson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“If you have ever lost someone very important to you, then you already know how it feels; and if you haven’t, you cannot possibly imagine it.”

“I didn’t want any flowers, I only wanted”

“I believe there are ways whose ends are life instead of death.”

“Auntie Phyl's last months in the care home were extra pieces. Age is unnecessary. Some of us, like my mother, are fortunate enough to die swiftly and suddenly, in full possession of our faculties and our fate, but more and more of us will be condemned to linger, at the mercy of anxious or indifferent relatives, careless strangers, unwanted medical interventions, increasing debility, incontinence, memory loss. We live too long, but, like the sibyl hanging in her basket in the cave at Cumae, we find it hard to die.”

“There was no hope in death, only an end.”

“It was not my intention to collapse; no, I would die standing.”
