Death Quote by Roland Barthes — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“To whom could I put this question (with any hope of an answer)? Does being able to live without someone you loved mean you loved her less than you thought...?”

“Each of us has his own rhythm of suffering.”

“The fame of his likes circulates briskly but soon grows heavy and stale; and as for history it will limit his life story to the dash between two dates.”

“No death, no doom, no anguish can arouse the surpassing despair which flows from a loss of identity.”

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

“Why is it we have so little choice? We live like the lowliest worms. Always defeated - defeated we make dinner, we eat, we sleep. Everyone we love is dying. Sill, to cease living is unacceptable.”

“Being dead's a drug', he says, 'you'll get hooked on it.”

“A society that doesn't know any longer how to observe every death with proper rituals, that does not know that death is not the end, but only part of the journey, has lost its way, has had the very heart of its humanity torn out.”
