Death Quote by William Cullen Bryant — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“And we wept that one so lovely should have a life so brief;”

“So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan which moves”

“A tomb now suffices him for whom the world was not enough.”

“From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them, and that is eternity.”

“All this time, I'd assumed that being a doctor meant performing miracles. Fixing bodies. Saving lives. I had hardly considered the flip side of that coin: that it also meant looking a patient's family in the eye and telling them to say their last goodbyes. That it meant staring down the permanence of death over and over again, until it stopped feeling like something to be prevented at all costs and instead became something to be occasionally embraced.”

“When the sun shall be folded up; and when the stars shall fall; and when the mountains shall be made to pass away; and when the camels ten months gone with young shall be neglected; and when the seas shall boil; and when the souls shall be joined again to their bodies; and when the girl who hath been buried alive shall be asked for what crime she was put to death; and when the books shall be laid open; and when the heavens shall be removed; and when hell shall burn fiercely; and when paradise shall be brought near: every soul shall know what it hath wrought.”

“The amazing miracle of death, when one second you're walking and talking, and the next second you're an object.”
