Eric Berne - Death

Famous quotes containing the word death:

“Tear out the close vermiculate crease
Where death crawled angrily at bay.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“But, when nothing subsists from a distant past, after the death of others, after the destruction of objects, only the senses of smell and taste, weaker but more enduring, more intangible, more persistent, more faithful, continue for a long time, like souls, to remember, to wait, to hope, on the ruins of all the rest, to bring without flinching, on their nearly impalpable droplet, the immense edifice of memory.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“When death comes too near, comedy and tragedy fall silent.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
