“but what if God have seen,
And death ensue? then I shall be no more,
And Adam wedded to another Eve,
Shall live with her enjoying, I extinct;
A death to think. Confirmed then I resolve,
Adam shall share with me in bliss or woe:
So dear I love him, that with him all deaths
I could endure, without him live no life.”
― John Milton, Paradise Lost

“Og Sigurd
som skjenket ravnen,
Odins svane,
blodig øl,
mistet livet;
landets herre
ødela ham
ved Oglo.
Gullets øder,
den uredde,
livet lot
i luende ild,
da landkongene
brøt sitt løfte,
sveik i trygd
Tys ætling.”
― Snorri Sturluson

“Deyr fé,
deyja frændr,
deyr sjálfr ið sama;
ek veit einn,
að aldri deyr:
dómr of dauðan hvern.”
― Hávamál - The sayings of the high one

“Desse kroppane blei støypte mjukt
for å hindre

einsemd.”
― Ocean Vuong, Night Sky with Exit Wounds
