It is my wish to die of unique causes, perhaps in a high-speed tricycle crash, a bizarre stapling incient, or as a result of inadvertently sucking my brains out through my ear while trying to untwist the vacuum hose.

About This Quote

William Shakespeare said: “It is my wish to die of unique causes, perhaps in a high-speed tricycle crash, a bizarre stapling incient, or as a result of inadvertently sucking my brains out through my ear while trying to untwist the vacuum hose.” In this quote, he captures the essence of death and mortality. One should not fear death and try to avoid it like the plague. If you truly want to die in a unique way and cause, the world is your oyster. Just because we can’t predict what we will do does not mean that we should not try something new and different every day.
