Death Quotes
Death shows up in conversation more than we admit.
These quotes treat death as a subject that surfaces everywhere - casual bar conversation about life's biggest questions, a wry comparison between an unfulfilling job and a kind of professional death, and culture as the space where death, love, and birth all get processed together. See Death And Taxes Quotes for more.

I had written two or three books before my husband noticed that in every one of them a family member was missing. He suggested that it was because my father's death, when I was five, utterly changed my world. I can only suppose he is right and that this is the reason I am drawn to a narrative where someone's life is changed by loss.
