I cannot belong to a nation which permits such barbarities as stoning to death and amputation - I don't care what religion it is.

Wole Soyinka

Death has his favorites, like anyone. Those who are beloved of Death will not die.

Holly Black

Repeating the name of the Beloved I have become the Beloved myself. Whom shall I call the Beloved now?

Bulleh Shah

We must all die. There's nothing terrible about death. But to live on after death, a soul, earthbound, a vampire--you don't wish any such fate for your beloved.

Guy Endore

The curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being beloved is intolerable to many. The beloved fears and hates the lover, and with the best of reasons. For the lover is forever trying to strip bare his beloved. The lover craves any possible relation with the beloved, even if this experience can cause him only pain.

Carson McCullers

A death from a long illness is very different from a sudden death. It gives you time to say goodbye and time to adjust to the idea that the beloved will not be with you anymore.

Meghan O'Rourke

The death of your beloved is the hardest time of all.

Carl Reiner

To how many is the death of the beloved the parent of faith!

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

Beloved is man, for he was created in the image of God. Beloved are Israel, for they were called children of God. Beloved are Israel, for unto them was given the desirable Torah

Rabbi Akiva

Love is timeless.... Death does not separate the lover from the beloved.

Khalil Gibran

If my survival caused another to perish, then death would be sweeter and more beloved.

Khalil Gibran

Meditation upon death does not teach one how to die; it does not make the departure more easy, but ease is not what I seek. Beloved boy, so willful and brooding, your sacrifice will have enriched not my life but my death. ... Centuries as yet unborn within the dark womb of time would pass by thousands over that tomb without restoring life to him, but likewise without adding to his death, and without changing the fact that he had been.

Marguerite Yourcenar

We have equated a cancer diagnosis to 'death,' but we look at diabetes as 'something that you get when you get older.' But look at diabetes - it's the leading cause of limb amputation, heart disease, kidney failure. Many people don't equate diabetes with these other destructive things. I didn't equate it to those until I started reading about it.
