The kind of death you should mourn over is the one that happen when you abort your potentials prematurely! Life without purpose is a tragedy!
— Israelmore AyivorThe tragedy in life to mourn over is the death of what lies within a person who is still alive. The death of a potential is a mess of destiny!
— Israelmore AyivorYou cannot be responsible for some things that happen on earth. You may attempt to act, God alone will decide. Some things are mysteries!
— Israelmore AyivorTo mourn is to touch directly the substance of divine compassion.
— Cynthia BourgeaultIf one bad thing befell me, I immediately linked it to every bad thing that had happened in the last week or might happen in the coming week. And when I became sad, I was prone to wallow in grief, piling up my woes and sprawling on them like a dragon on a hoard.
— Robin HobbIf I died, I’d expect my guy to mourn me forever, and if he tried to hook up with someone else, I’d haunt him till he ended up in a crazy house. Then I’d haunt the girl.
— Gena ShowalterMight there come a timeWhen we stand over a graveAnd mourn ourselves?Mourn the past, a previous life?Shall we weep for the passing of time?Shall we grieve for unfulfilled dreams?In my naivety; in my beliefIn immortal youth, I sleep walk through life.Someone... Wake me up.Please.Wake me up.
— Samantha YoungThere are some mornings when I cry and cry and mourn for myself. Some mornings, I'm so angry and bitter. But it doesn't last too long. Then I get up and say, 'I want to live..' 'So far, I've been able to do it. Will I be able to continue? I don't know. But I'm betting on myself I will.' Koppel seemed extremely taken with Morrie. He asked about the humility that death induced.
— Mitch AlbomIs there any good left in the world/ And if there is, can you still find it in the places that matter? Why is it that the only places I see it now, is in the graves of the victims, and the tears of those who mourn them?
— Christina EngelaExcerpt: Paradox – Bound By Blood. The hands on a clock never falter, not for a second. One day ends; and a new begins. If there was one thing on this earth that could be counted on, it was that. Time never paused to mourn the dead. That particular privilege is allotted to the living. It is for the survivor to mourn, bury the dead, and leave the rest to the earth. That is the way of it – the way of death - and the misery it leaves behind.
