Anais Nin

You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked ‘female’.

Erin McKean

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings. Anaïs Nin I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved. George Eliot Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star.

e. e. cummings

In any man who dies there dies with him his first snow and kiss and fight... Not people die but worlds die in them.

Yevgeny Yevtushenko

Whenever someone dies, a part of the universe dies too. Everything a person felt, experience and saw dies with them, like tears in the rain.

Paulo Coelho

To a father, when a child dies, the future dies; to a child when a parent dies, the past dies.

Red Auerbach

Death did not first strike Adam, the first sinful man, nor Cain, the first hypocrite, but Abel, the innocent and righteous. The first soul that met with death, overcame death; the first soul that parted from earth went to heaven. Death argues not displeasure, because he whom God loved best dies first, and the murderer is punished with living.

Joseph Hall

He who dies before he dies does not die when he dies.

Jon Kabat-Zinn

All I can think is that when you torment a person...the soul dies. When the soul dies, I suppose mercy dies, too.

Avi

The first one is always the hardest," he said. "The first?" "The first one you love who dies," he said. "It gets easier, after.

Cassandra Clare

Of all the faculties of the mind, memory is the first that flourishes, and the first that dies.

Charles Caleb Colton

I abhor mere prettiness.

Richard Burton

A prettiness mummified by years of chalk dust.

Richard Eder

Aristocracy has three successive ages. First superiority s, then privileges and finally vanities. Having passed from the first, it degenerates in the second and dies in the third.
