Death Quote by Stevie Smith — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“There are moments of despair that come sometimes, when night sets in and a white fog presses against the windows. Then our house changes its shape, rears up and becomes a place of despair. Then fear and rage run simply--and the thought of Death as a friend. This is the simplest of thoughts, that Death must come when we call, although he is a god.”

“Marriage I think”

“There is a god in whom I do not believe”

“My Muse sits forlorn”

“Away with them, away; we should not believe fairy stories if we wish to be good. Think of them as persons from the fairy wood.”

“These thoughts are depressing I know. They are depressing,”

“Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you.”

“The universe was exploding, each particle away from the next, hurtling us into dark and lonely space, eternally tearing us away from each other - child out of the womb, friend away from friend, moving from each other, each through his own pathway towards the goal-box of solitary death.”

“I would say I'm less afraid of dying than I am of life.”

“She has the mysterious solitude of ambiguous states; she hovers in a no-man’s land between life and death, sleeping and waking.”

“When you reach the stars, boy, yes, and live there forever, all the fears will go, and Death himself will die.”

“I've changed my ways a little, I cannot now”
