  13. I don’t care! Harry yelled at them, snatching up a lunarscape and throwing it into the fireplace. I’ve had enough, I’ve seen enough, I want out, I want it to end, I don’t care anymore! You do care, said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached. You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.
    J.K. Rowling, harry potter and the order of the phoenix

    Willa Cather
  15. I wish it need not have happened in my time, said Frodo. So do I, said Gandalf, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
    J.R.R. Tolkien, the fellowship of the ring
  16. If man were immortal he could be perfectly sure of seeing the day when everything in which he had trusted should betray his trust, and, in short, of coming eventually to hopeless misery. He would break down, at last, as every good fortune, as every dynasty, as every civilization does. In place of this we have death.
    – Charles Sanders Peirce
  17. If you spend all your time worrying about dying, living isn’t going to be much fun.

  18. I’m not afraid of death. It’s the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.

  19. I’m the one that’s got to die when it’s time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.
    Jimi Hendrix
  20. In any man who dies, there dies with him his first snow and kiss and fight, not only people die but worlds die in them.
    Yevgeny Yevtushenko
  21. It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.
    Lemony Snicket
