Quotes About Death

Everything said goodbye to us, however, there is something that stays however, there is something that bemoans, the love that does not expect to be loved, the Love that see in death a dream, in the sunset a golden sadness, in the outrage of years a few stray stars of the sky.
~ Alexis karpouzos

Elle aurait aimé, si l'orgueil Pareil à la lampe inutile Qu'on allume près d'un cercueil, N'eût veillé sur son coeur stérile. Elle est morte, et n'a point vécu. Elle faisait semblant de vivre. De ses mains est tombé le livre, Dans lequel elle n'a rien lu.
~ Alfred de Musset
D'ailleurs la mort est toujours là ; n'est-elle pas partout sous les pieds de l'homme, qui la rencontre à chaque pas dans cette vie ? L'eau, le feu, la terre, tout la lui offre sans cesse ; il la voit partout dès qu'il la cherche, il la porte à son côté.
~ Alfred de Musset

Sirkte yaralanan bo?alar, s?rtlar?nda matadorun k?l?c?yla, bir kö?ede yatmaya gitmek ve sükûn içinde ölmekte serbesttirler. ?urada veya burada, söyleyin bana, ne yapmaya gideyim. Bana temiz bir sema, a?açlar ve evler, konu?an, içen, ?ark? söyleyen adamlar, rakseden kad?nlar ve doludizgin ko?an atlar göstereceksiniz. Bütün bunlar hayat de?ildir, hayat?n gürültüsüdür.

~ John Updike
