When it's my time, and the reaper calls my name, there will be no stink of fear on me, and my only wish will be to die with grace, covered in the blood of my enemies.

About This Quote

When it’s my time, and the reaper calls my name, there will be no stink of fear on me, and my only wish will be to die with grace, covered in the blood of my enemies. was written by Edith Piaf in a letter to her friend in 1946. In the letter, she describes herself in a moment of clarity when she said: “When it’s my time, and the reaper calls my name, there will be no stink of fear on me, and my only wish will be to die with grace, covered in the blood of my enemies.” This quote shows that even when our life is ended by death or tragedy, we can choose how we bear up under these trials. We can bear up with courage and dignity. Even in life's darkest moments when all seems lost we can still rise from our knees with dignity.
