On Death Quotes

“We cannot speak loudly or angrily at such times; we are not apt to be eager about mere worldly things, for our very awe at our quickened sense of the nearness of the invisible world, makes us calm and serene about the petty trifles of today.”
― Elizabeth Gaskell, LADY LUDLOW

“Često sam razmišljao o smrti i zaključio da je ponajmanje od svih zala.”
― Francis Bacon, The Essays

“He had never seen anything die before and so, he could not be certain that she was dying. And yet, somewhere deep inside himself, he felt a recognition and then a reckoning: this was death, and he would die, and his mother would die, and everyone you ever met and ever loved would die, and maybe it would happen when you or they were old, but maybe not. To know this was unbearable: it was a fact too large for a nine-year-old avatar to contain.”
― Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
