Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.Unknown

My dear, Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.~ Falsely yoursCharles Bukowski

If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?Jodi Picoult

Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.J.k. Rowling

Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.Mitch Albom

And what would humans be without love?" R A R E, said Death.Terry Pratchett
7
And he suddenly knew that if she killed herself, he would die. Maybe not immediately, maybe not with the same blinding rush of pain, but it would happen. You couldn't live for very long without a heart.Jodi Picoult

I think I fell in love with her, a little bit. Isn't that dumb? But it was like I knew her. Like she was my oldest, dearest friend. The kind of person you can tell anything to, no matter how bad, and they'll still love you, because they know you. I wanted to go with her. I wanted her to notice me. And then she stopped walking. Under the moon, she stopped. And looked at us. She looked at me. Maybe she was trying to tell me something; I don't know. She probably didn't even know I was there. But I'll always love her. All my life.Neil Gaiman

Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. Love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves it's own mark. To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.J.k. Rowling
10
My sister will die over and over again for the rest of my life. Grief is forever. It doesn't go away; it becomes a part of you, step for step, breath for breath. I will never stop grieving Bailey because I will never stop loving her. That's just how it is. Grief and love are conjoined, you don't get one without the other. All I can do is love her, and love the world, emulate her by living with daring and spirit and joy. .Jandy Nelson
11
If I die, I will wait for you, do you understand? No matter how long. I will watch from beyond to make sure you live every year you have to its fullest, and then we’ll have so much to talk about when I see you again… (Bones)Jeaniene Frost
12
Ginny, listen.. I can't be involved with you anymore. We've got to stop seeing each other. We can't be together."" It's for some stupid noble reason isn't it?"" It's been like..like something out of someone else's life these last few weeks with you. But I can't..we can't.. I've got to do things alone now. Voldemort uses people his enemies are close to. He's already used you as bait once, and that was just because you were my best friend's sister. Think how much danger you'll be in if we keep this up. He'll know, he'll find out. He'll try and get me through you."" What if I don't care?"" I care. How do you think I'd feel if this was your funeral..and it was my fault..J.k. Rowling

Six hundred and forty fish later, the only thing I know is everything you love will die. The first time you meet someone special, you can count on them one day being dead and in the ground.Chuck Palahniuk

O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever a dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant, feind angelical, dove feather raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! Despised substance of devinest show, just opposite to what thou justly seemest - A dammed saint, an honourable villain!William Shakespeare

Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved.Stephenie Meyer
19
He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.W.h. Auden
20
Every widow wakes one morning, perhaps after years of pure and unwavering grieving, to realize she slept a good night's sleep, and will be able to eat breakfast, and doesn't hear her husband's ghost all the time, but only some of the time. Her grief is replaced with a useful sadness. Every parent who loses a child finds a way to laugh again. The timbre begins to fade. The edge dulls. The hurt lessens. Every love is carved from loss. Mine was. Yours is. Your great-great-great-grandchildren's will be. But we learn to live in that love.Jonathan Safran Foer
21
Sweets to the sweet.William Shakespeare
22
Do people look the same when they go to heaven, mommy?"" I don't know. I don't think so."" Then how do people recognize each other?"" I don't know, sweetie. They just feel it. You don't need your eyes to love, right?R.J. Palacio
23
You will be the first test subject, Tobias. Beatrice, however.." She smiles. "You are too injured to be of much use to me, so your execution will occur at the conclusion of this meeting." I try to hide the shudder that goes through me at the word "execution, " my shoulder screaming with pain, and look up at Tobias. It's hard to blink tears back when I see the terror in Tobias's wide, dark eyes." No, " says Tobias. His voice trembles, but his look stern as he shakes his head. "I would rather die."" I'm afraid you don't have much of a choice in that matter, " replies Jeanine lightly. Tobias takes my face in this hands roughly and kisses me, the pressure of his lips pushing mine apart. I forget my pain and the terror of approaching death and for a moment, I am grateful that the memory of that kiss will be fresh in my mind as I meet my end.Veronica Roth

The language of love letters is the same as suicide notes.Courtney Love
25
Our love was a two-person game. At least until one of us died, and the other became a murderer.

Before I go, " he said, and paused -- "I may kiss her?" It was remembered afterwards that when he bent down and touched her face with his lips, he murmured some words. The child, who was nearest to him, told them afterwards, and told her grandchildren when she was a handsome old lady, that she heard him say, "A life you love.Charles Dickens

Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.Jack Thorne

...Despite the mayhem that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let go.John Boyne
29
I used to think I knew everything. I was a "smart person" who "got things done, " and because of that, the higher I climbed, the more I could look down and scoff at what seemed silly or simple, even religion. But I realized something as I drove home that night: that I am neither better nor smarter, only luckier. And I should be ashamed of thinking I knew everything, because you can know the whole world and still feel lost in it. So many people are in pain-no matter how smart or accomplished-they cry, they yearn, they hurt. But instead of looking down on things, they look up, which is where I should have been looking, too. Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing, we all want the same things:comfort, love, and a peaceful heart. .Mitch Albom
30
We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can change in one day. And we can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in just one day.Gayle Forman
31
O, here Will I set up my everlasting rest, And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last! Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss A dateless bargain to engrossing death!William Shakespeare
32
Now there is one thing I can tell you: you will enjoy certain pleasures you would not fathom now. When you still had your mother you often thought of the days when you would have her no longer. Now you will often think of days past when you had her. When you are used to this horrible thing that they will forever be cast into the past, then you will gently feel her revive, returning to take her place, her entire place, beside you. At the present time, this is not yet possible. Let yourself be inert, wait till the incomprehensible power .. that has broken you restores you a little, I say a little, for henceforth you will always keep something broken about you. Tell yourself this, too, for it is a kind of pleasure to know that you will never love less, that you will never be consoled, that you will constantly remember more and more.Marcel Proust
33
It never gets easier, missing you. And sometimes I wonder if it ever will.Heather Brewer

It's easy to cry when you realize that everyone you love will reject you or die.Chuck Palahniuk

It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death.Thomas Mann
36
I wish the night would end, I wish the day'd begin, I wish it would rain or snow, or the wind would blow, or the grass would grow, I wish I had yesterday, I wish there were games to play...V.C. Andrews
37
Dying is overrated. Human sentimentality has twisted it into the ultimate act of love. Biggest load of bullshit in the world. Dying for someone isn't the hard thing. The man that dies escapes. Plain and simple. Game over. End of pain... Try living for someone. Through it all-good, bad, thick, thin, joy, suffering. That's the hard thing.Karen Marie Moning
38
You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me, and still come with me, and hating me through death and after. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature.Unknown
39
I love you every day. And now I will miss you every day.Mitch Albom

What will survive of us is love.Philip Larkin

To whom could I put this question (with any hope of an answer)? Does being able to live without someone you loved mean you loved her less than you thought...?Roland Barthes
42
Some things are private. Some things needed to be said, even when the person who needed to hear them couldn’t hear anything. Ever again.Rachel Vincent
43
I wonder what I will do if she doesn't wake up, and I don't have an answer. As I lie back down next to her and pull her into my arms, my stomach growls, and suddenly I know exactly what I will do. If she doesn't wake up, then I will just lie with her until I don't wake up either.Shay Savage
44
Because misery, and degradation, and death, and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you, of your own will did it. I have no broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. So much the worse for me that I am strong.Unknown

Some men die for lack of love…some die because of it. Think about it." - DaemonAnne Bishop

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

Life is for the living. Death is for the dead. Let life be like music. And death a note unsaid.Langston Hughes
52
That was the thing. You never got used to it, the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think it's reconciled, accepted, someone points it out to you, and it just hits you all over again, that shocking.Sarah Dessen

I go to seek a Great Perhaps.Unknown
54
Even death has a heart.Markus Zusak
55
To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life; For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action.-- Soft you now! The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons Be all my sins remember'd! .William Shakespeare
56
I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.Ayn Rand

Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities.George R.r. Martin
58
Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.Haruki Murakami
59
That's what literature is. It's the people who went before us, tapping out messages from the past, from beyond the grave, trying to tell us about life and death! Listen to them!Connie Willis
60
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.Steve Jobs
61
Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.Ernest Hemingway
62
One lives in the hope of becoming a memory.Antonio Porchia

Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.Benjamin Franklin

You do not immortalize the lost by writing about them. Language buries, but does not resurrect.John Green
67
I want words at my funeral. But I guess that means you need life in your life.Markus Zusak
68
He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave.Garth Stein

No one here gets out alive.Jim Morrison

If you live each day as it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be rightSteve Jobs

Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.Ernest Hemingway

Losing your life is not the worst thing that can happen. The worst thing is to lose your reason for living.Unknown
73
There are three deaths. The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.David Eagleman
74
In the end, it wasn't death that surprised her but the stubbornness of life.Jeffrey Eugenides
75
Life is the tragedy, ' she said bitterly. 'You know how they categorize Shakespeare's plays, right? If it ends with a wedding, it's a comedy. And if it ends with a funeral, it's a tragedy. So we're all living tragedies, because we all end the same way, and it isn't with a goddamn wedding.Robyn Schneider
76
What do you most value in your friends? Their continued existence.Christopher Hitchens
77
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.William Shakespeare
78
Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time. Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, the only fact we have. It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death--ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life. One is responsible for life: It is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return. .Unknown
79
The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?Edgar Allan Poe
80
Pulvis et umbra sumus. It's a line from Horace. 'We are dust and shadows'. Appropriate, don't you think?" Will said. "It's not a long life, killing demons; one tends to die young, and then they burn your body - dust to dust, in the literal sense. And then we vanish into the shadows of history, nary a mark on the page of a mundane book to remind the world that once we existed at all.Cassandra Clare
81
Life is too short when you think of the length of deathSean Mangan
82
It was ironic, really - you want to die because you can't be bothered to go on living - but then you're expected to get all energetic and move furniture and stand on chairs and hoist ropes and do complicated knots and attach things to other things and kick stools from under you and mess around with hot baths and razor blades and extension cords and electrical appliances and weedkiller. Suicide was a complicated, demanding business, often involving visits to hardware shops. And if you've managed to drag yourself from the bed and go down the road to the garden center or the drug store, by then the worst is over. At that point you might as well just go to work. .Marian Keyes
83
Live or die, but don't poison everything.Anne Sexton
84
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.Henry David Thoreau

There is no escape–we pay for the violence of our ancestors.Frank Herbert
86
Our lives can't be measured by our final years, of this I am sure.Nicholas Sparks
87
YOU FEAR TO DIE?"It's not that I don't want... I mean, I've always...it's just that life is a habit that's hard to break...Terry Pratchett
88
These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections-sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent-that happened after I was gone. And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it. The events that my death wrought were merely the bones of a body that would become whole at some unpredictable time in the future. The price of what I came to see as this miraculous body had been my life. .Alice Sebold
89
The end is in the beginning and yet you go on.Samuel Beckett
90
He is terribly afraid of dying because he hasn’t yet lived.Franz Kafka
91
I am afraid. Not of life, or death, or nothingness, but of wasting it as if I had never been.Daniel Keyes
92
The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live --moreover, the only one.Emil M. Cioran

Live free or die.Lauren Oliver
95
I know I wrote letters to people with no address on this earth, I know that you are dead. But I hear you. I hear all of you. We were here. Our lives matter.Ava Dellaira
96
People die all the time. Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So you should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if possible, sincerely. It's too easy not to make the effort, then weep and wring your hands after the person dies.Haruki Murakami
97
Each time we don't say what we wanna say, we're dying.Yoko Ono
98
I wonder if I'll ever have to decide which is worse, life as we're living or no life at all.Susan Beth Pfeffer
99
Contrary to what you may assume, I am not a pessimist but an indifferentist- that is, I don't make the mistake of thinking that the... cosmos... gives a damn one way or the other about the especial wants and ultimate welfare of mosquitoes, rats, lice, dogs, men, horses, pterodactyls, trees, fungi, dodos, or other forms of biological energy.H.P. Lovecraft
