Gary Scott Gebert

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Canterville Ghost

“People living deeply have no fear of death.”
― Anaïs Nin

“The inmost spirit of poetry, in other words, is at bottom, in every recorded case, the voice of pain – and the physical body, so to speak, of poetry, is the treatment by which the poet tries to reconcile that pain with the world.”
― Ted Hughes

“This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.”
― T.S. Eliot
