Death Quote by Naguib Mahfouz — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.”

“قال لنفسه إنه لا نجاة له إلا بالجنون. الجنون وحده هو الذي يتسع للإيمان والكفر، للمجد والخزي، للحب والخداع، للصدق والكذب، أما العقل فكيف يتحمل هذه الحياة الغريبة؟ كيف يشيم ألق النجوم وهو مغروس حتى قمة رأسه في الوحل؟!”

“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.”

“لا تبن آمالك في الحياة على موت إنسان”

“It takes the whole of life to learn how to live, and -what will perhaps make you wonder more - it takes the whole of life to learn how to die.”

“I wonder if my first breath was as soul-stirring to my mother as her last breath was to me”

“Death, I had discovered long ago, was available in varying flavors, and none of them particularly palatable.”

“Vanye: You're asking me to kill you.”

“I became quietly seized with that nostalgia that overcomes you when you have reached the middle of your life and your father has recently died and it dawns on you that when he went he took some of you with him.”

“Life is a temporary condition, Henry. And it's uncertain. That's why you have to seize chances when you find them. Pursue what you want. Take risks. Live, love...all of it. Every last one of us is going to die, but if we don't live as we truly want, if we're not with the one we want to be with, we're dead already.”
