I try to MAKE the readers FEEL they've lived the events of the BOOK. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go GET more popcorn, it's a superficial EXPERIENCE isn't it?

He who doesn't FEAR DEATH DIES only once.

Covetousness is both the beginning and the end of the DEVIL's alphabet - the first VICE in CORRUPT nature that moves, and the LAST which dies.

The world DIES over and over again, but the skeleton ALWAYS gets up and WALKS.

With English literature, if you do a bit of shonky SPELLING, no one DIES, but if you're half-way through a maths calculation and you STICK in an EXTRA zero, EVERYTHING just crashes into the ravine.

Human NATURE is so WELL disposed towards those who are in interesting SITUATIONS, that a young person, who EITHER marries or dies, is SURE of being kindly spoken of.

There are only three EVENTS in a man's LIFE; birth, life, and DEATH; he is not conscious of being born, he DIES in pain, and he forgets to LIVE.

One is STILL what one is GOING to cease to be and already what one is going to become. One LIVES one's death, one dies one's life.

One always dies too SOON or too late. And yet, life is there, FINISHED: the LINE is drawn, and it MUST all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.

The first thing I do when I come home is check the refrigerator for CATS because I'm CONVINCED that if one dies, my husband will hide it in there because I don't cook and so I won't see it. I do drink Cokes, though, so technically he should hide the CORPSE in the oven. And now I NEED to start checking the oven.

There's great disparity between who goes to college and who goes to jail. Who lives LONG and who dies prematurely, is the defining ISSUE of our time. And I submit to you, there's a significant RACE dimension, it is basically class-driven.

The color and the diversity DIES out, and it gets whiter and whiter, and that's in any FIELD. There is ALSO this idea that there can only be one gay person or there can only be one Asian-American woman in the office, and so it also perpetuates itself where we are ISOLATED, especially the more successful we get.

Once a star dies, it's gone forever. There are no new STARS to TAKE its PLACE. Eventually, there will be no stars, and the UNIVERSE will turn black. That really will be the END.

Do you KNOW why ANIMALS DIE in cages? Their SOUL DIES.
