Died Quotes

The bookstore was a parking lot for used graveyards. Thousands of graveyards were parked in rows like cars. Most of the books were out of print, and no one wanted to read them any more and the people who had read the books had died or forgotten about them, but through the organic process of music the books had become virgins again Picture Quote #1

The tree that never had to fight for sun and sky and air and light but stood out in the open plain and always got it share of rain, never became a forest king but lived and died a scrubby thing. Good timber does not grow with ease. The stronger wind, the stronger trees Picture Quote #1

A socialist is just someone who is unable to get over his or her astonishment that most people who have lived and died have spent lives of wretched, fruitless, unremitting toil Picture Quote #1

Since his mother died I have seen him steam a cucumber thinking it was zucchini. That’s the kind of thing that turns my heart right over Picture Quote #1

The facts of his existence are plain. I know that he will never silence those unspeakable voices. He heard how people killed, and how they died and their voices infected him, coursed through his body, poisoned him. He didn’t know how to turn off the noise, or turn the hate back out onto the world like the rest of us. He turned it on himself. You could see that from the scars on him Picture Quote #1

In places where a loved one has died, time stops for eternity. If I stand on the very spot, one says to oneself, like a prayer, might I feel the pain he felt? They say that on a visit to an old castle or whatever, the history of the place, the presence of people who walked there many years ago, can be felt in the body. Before, when I heard things like that, I would think, what are they talking about? But I felt I understood it now Picture Quote #1

It was rumored she held grudges till they died of old age, then had them stuffed and mounted Picture Quote #1

He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave Picture Quote #1

Fiction cannot recite the numbing numbers, but it can be that witness, that memory. A storyteller can attempt to tell the human tale, can make a galaxy out of the chaos, can point to the fact that some people survived even as most people died. And can remind us that the swallows still sing around the smokestacks Picture Quote #1

It was funny, though, the things you didn’t learn about people until after they died Picture Quote #1

She died chasing greatness and never saw it each time it was in her hand, so she kept seeking it elsewhere, but never understood the work required to get it or to keep it Picture Quote #1

She died that night. Her last breath took her soul, I saw it in my dream. I saw her soul leave her body as she exhaled, and then she had no more needs, no more reason; she was released from her body, and being released, she continued her journey elsewhere, high in the firmament where soul material gathers and plays out all the dreams and joys of which we temporal beings can barely conceive, all the things that are beyond our comprehension, but even so, are not beyond our attainment if we choose to attain them, and believe that we truly can Picture Quote #1

He says when your grandmother died your mother cried solidly for a week, solidly. She was crying with relief he says, it was like as if a door had been unlocked and she’d been let outside, she said to me I’m safe now. He waits, and he says this kid, when it’s born, you mustn’t ever let it think it’s anything other than a gift and a blessing, do you hear me? Picture Quote #1

No, I don’t, like, play an instrument or anything.I’m just... well, you saw me at the beginning there. I was the guy that fell down and died Picture Quote #1

I don’t have any regrets, really, except that one. I wanted to write about you, about us, really. Do you know what I mean? I wanted to write about everything, the life we’re having and the lives we might have had. I wanted to write about all the ways we might have died Picture Quote #1

A day came when I should have died, and after that nothing seemed very important. So I have stayed as I am, without regret, separated from the normal human condition Picture Quote #1

A lot of really big trees had died to make that desk. His mother had probably gnawed them down, used her nails to saw the boards, and finished the decorative cutwork with her tongue Picture Quote #1

Soldiers live. He dies and not you, and you feel guilty, because you’re glad he died, and not you. Soldiers live, and wonder why Picture Quote #1

It’s and old, old story: I had a friend and we shared everything, and then she died and so we shared that, too Picture Quote #1

I would recognise myself in each of his translations and he would feel betrayed and annoyed whenever I didn’t write something the way he would have. A part of me died with him, a part of him lives with me Picture Quote #1

For an instant she felt his touch on her cheek then he stepped back. There that was my ration for all eternity. People have died for less I dare say Picture Quote #1

New teachers were just a part of life, for a few days after one arrived, squawks of interest were emitted from various corners, but then they died away as the teacher was absorbed like everyone else... before you knew it, the fresh ones seemed to have been teaching there forever too, or else they didn’t last very long, and were gone before you’d gotten to know them Picture Quote #1

We only said goodbye with words I died a hundred time, you go back to her and I go back to black Picture Quote #1

This was real. And it was me. I had lived that life, and I had died that death. I was staring at the very end of me Picture Quote #1

If you died it would be like my bones had been removed. No one would know why, but I would collapse Picture Quote #1

It is not like a premonition of death. It is as if she died a long time ago, and she just now remembered it Picture Quote #1

Well, you will have to do. If you had died along with your mother, I would have taught the cat to read Picture Quote #1

What happened was simple, even banal: I became naked, died, lost parts of my flesh and most of my ego along with a few illusions such as a belief in the uniqueness of my personal scrap of consciousness and the cosmic importance therof, and went on from there Picture Quote #1

There was a reason these boys were still alive, though. Something made them stronger than the other kids, the ones who had died in the early days, who had simply lain down and given up, unable to cope with the terrible things that were happening in the world. These boys were survivors. The will to live was stronger than any other feelings Picture Quote #1

Hearts got broken every day. Nobody died from that. But it did kind of fade the sunlight and drain the color from the days Picture Quote #1
