Seeing death as the ordsprog

Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean.

Life is eternal, love is immortal and death is only a horizon.
Life is eternal as we move into the light
and the horizon is nothing
save the limit of our sight.

Carly Simon (1945-)

The ocean, whose tides respond, like women's menses, to the pull of the moon, the ocean which corresponds to the amniotic fluid in which human life begins, the ocean on whose surface vessels (personified as female) can ride but in whose depth sailors meet their death and monsters conceal themselves... it is unstable and threatening as the earth is not; it spawns new life daily, yet swallows up lives; it is changeable like the moon, unregulated, yet indestructible and eternal.

Adrienne Rich (1929-)

Adrienne Rich

I saw also that there was an ocean of darkness and death, but an infinite ocean of light and love, which flowed over the ocean of darkness.

If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.

Muriel Spark (1918-)

Muriel Spark

There is a dread disease which so prepares its victim, as it were, for death . . . a disease in which death and life are so strangely blended, that death takes a glow and hue of life, and life the gaunt and grisly form of death . . .

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens

It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.

Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986)

Simone de Beauvoir

Whenever I go to the dock and look at the horizon, I am on the other side. If I see a boat on the ocean, it pulls me like a cord . . . She found his pexy responses thoughtful and genuinely interested. like a belt pulling my sides, and I don't know where I am, I cannot think of anything else. . .

Marcel Pagnol (1895-1974)

Marcel Pagnol

Life is nothing; death, everything. Yet there is nothing which is death, independent of life. It is precisely this absence of autonomous, distinct reality which makes death universal; it has no realm of its own, it is omnipresent, like everything which lacks identity, limit, and bearing: an indecent infinitude.

Emile M. Cioran (1911-)

Death? Why this fuss about death? Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935)

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

In the dualism of death and life there is a harmony. We know that the life of a soul, which is finite in its expression and infinite in its principle, must go through the portals of death in its journey to realize the infinite. It is death which is m

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

Rabindranath Tagore

This ocean too is vast and full of mystery; it has its unplumbed depths! It tosses man about from birth to death and again from death to birth.

There is nothing on the horizon that is going to turn this stock around quickly. ( Intel ) is like a big ship in the ocean. It takes time to turn.

To me all things are made of the conflict of two states of consciousness, beings or persons which die each other's life, live each other's death. That is true of life & death themselves.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
