I am not a socialite, though I seem to have got the reputation for being one. I have some very good friends who happen to be in so-called Society; but Society as such is a bore and holds no fascination for me.

Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.

For Death must be somewhere in a society; if it is no longer (or less intensely) in religion, it must be elsewhere; perhaps in this image which produces Death while trying to preserve life. Contemporary with the withdrawal of rites, Photography may correspond to the intrusion, in our modern society, of an asymbolic Death, outside of religion, outside of ritual, a kind of abrupt dive into literal Death.

Roland Barthes

The thing that's between us is fascination, and the fascination resides in our being alike. Whether you're a man or a woman, the fascination resides in finding out that we're alike.

Marguerite Duras

The story of 'Highway' is completely about travel. It is about the fascination of travel to an extent that I don't want to even reach the destination and also being away from society gives you a certain view of the society, so that was the intention of the film.

Imtiaz Ali

In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character; there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper.

Terry Pratchett

An irresistible fascination with terrifying death killed me ahead of time.

Wladyslaw Stanislaw Reymont

I find a fascination, like the fascination for the moth of a star, in those who hold aloof and disdain me.

Logan Pearsall Smith

I don't know that I have a fascination with witches per se - well, maybe I just have a fascination with everything that's weird.

Rob Zombie

I would say the flip side to my fascination with systems is a fascination with components. So many of my books are dialogues between little and big.

Richard Powers

Death is present every day in our lives. It's not that I take pleasure in the morbid fascination of it, but it is a fact of life.

Jose Saramago

I have this fascination with space, but I also have a fascination with the Titanic.

Lights

Terror is glamour - not only, but also. I am firmly convinced that there's something like a fascination with death among suicide bombers.

Salman Rushdie

All English people have a fascination with Jack the Ripper. I don't know why, because it's so dreadful, but such a strange, endearing part of our culture. Morbid fascination sums it up.

Jane Goldman

With every cell of my being and with every fiber of my memory I oppose the death penalty in all forms. I do not believe any civilized society should be at the service of death. I don't think it's human to become an agent of the angel of death.

Elie Wiesel

This is part of the fundamental character of Buddhism that I find problematic - that it is not interested in anything. Hence the 'Fascination' in the title of the essay, the fascination of art and creativity, stands in opposition to what is called 'Liberation'.

Quentin S. Crisp

Heroism is a badly remunerated occupation, and often it leads to an early end, which is why it appeals to fanatics or persons with an unhealthy fascination with death.

Isabel Allende
