Bir ölüyüm ben, dola??p duran Art?k hiçbir yerde kayd?m yok. Bilinmiyorum mülki amirin görev yerinde. Say? fazlas?y?m alt?n kentlerde. Ve yeÅŸeren taÅŸra yörelerinde...

The Seventh Seal is one of the few films really close to my heart. Actually, I don't know why. It's certainly far from perfect. I had to contend with all sorts of madness, and one can detect here and there the speed with which it was made. But I find it even, strong, and vital.
~ Ingmar Bergman
When I was young, I was extremely scared of dying, but now I think it a very, very wise arrangement. Its like a light that is extinguished. Not very much to make a fuss about.
~ Ingmar Bergman
Say anything you want against The Seventh Seal . My fear of death — this infantile fixation of mine — was, at that moment, overwhelming. I felt myself in contact with death day and night, and my fear was tremendous. When I finished the picture, my fear went away. I have the feeling simply of having painted a canvas in an enormous hurry — with enormous pretension but without any arrogance. I said, 'Here is a painting; take it, please.

~ Ingmar Bergman
Death: When next we meet, the hour will strike for you and your friends. Antonius Block: And will you reveal your secrets? Death: I have no secrets. Antonius Block: So do you know nothing? Death: I am unknowing.
~ Ingmar Bergman
I was discovering that the most precious gift someone can give us is time, because what gives time its value is death.
~ Ingrid Betancourt
Mientras terminaba la correa que me había ayudado a comenzar,perdida en mis meditaciones, le agradecí en silencio por el tiempo que había dedicado a hablar conmigo, más que por el arte que me había transmitido, pues descubría que lo más valioso que tienen los demás para darnos es su tiempo. El tiempo al cual la muerte le da su valor.
~ Ingrid Betancourt
Bulls can do nothing to demand justice. They can only defend themselves as best they can in a fight with a pre-determined ending and die never knowing why they were forced to endure such a painful and prolonged death. It's up to us, as a civilized society, to call for an end to the Running of the Bulls and bullfighting.
~ Ingrid Newkirk

Women, our superiors! Yes, my brothers: accept this strange judgement from the mouth of one who has known many of them. They are superior to us in the constancy of their sacrifice, in their faith, their resignation, they die better than us; in short they are superior to us in the most important things, in the practical science of life, which as you know, is a race to death.
~ Unknown

~ Irene Hunt
We curse out loud instead of loving out loud! Our words and thoughts produce life or death. We choose! God gave us the freedom to choose good or evil, peace or worry, contentment or depression, healing or sickness, order or disorder, wealth or poverty, knowledge or illiteracy,
~ Unknown
Taking a life diminishes the taker. - Kadar den Arnaud

If you think me weak, bring forth your champion and let me do battle with him. And kill in that childish way of the Franks? Full of pomp and bravado? We are masters of death here. We do not play at it. - Ware & Sinan
~ Iris Johansen
In der Luft zitterte noch Schreien, man hörte es nicht mehr, man sah es nur noch. Wir sahen und fühlten es alle und waren für eine Sekunde vereint in Trauer und Angst. Denn es war getötet worden, und wir sind dabei gewesen.
~ Unknown
By definition, you have to live until you die. Better to make that life as complete and enjoyable an experience as possible, in case death is shite, which I suspect it will be.
~ Irvine Welsh
People think it's all about misery and desperation and death and all that shite, which is not to be ignored, but what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. After all, we're not fucking stupid. At least, we're not that fucking stupid.
~ Irvine Welsh
