Death Mask Quotes

“Why do we as humans always tend to remember the worse things about people? We may know someone for many years, know them as vibrant and healthy, yet when they fall ill and pass away, we can only picture them at their sickest, as though they were born and lived their whole lives wearing a death mask.”
― K. Martin Beckner, A Million Doorways

“A cold death mask worn by a living man.”
― Yukito Ayatsuji, The Mill House Murders
