This girl claims that the quote "Death is inevitable. You have a choice to live. Live" is her own quote when I heard my college professor say it in class. she claims I stole her words. where can I see if this quote is really out there? I have already checked out quotes sites. any suggestions?

Although it's really tough to find a particular quote if you are not aware of the author, but still i am attaching a link of the website, try finding your quote in the same.\n\nAll the best.

To live forever, I would trade in my death. Therefore, I could never get it back.\n\nThen I could live forever.

The premise of the quote is rooted in the belief that first of all there is a 'truth' to be known.  And knowing that truth and being unhappy because of that truth is better then living under false pre-tense and feeling happy.  ie. having a girlfriend who you know is cheating on you and staying with her. Is better than being happy and not knowing that your girlfriend is cheating on you.\n\nI think the quote takes the possibly to the extreme.  The person who created this quote doesn't necessarily believe that the 'truth' means that someone will be unhappy.  Rather that the 'truth' is the most important thing.

Try spark notes as well as book rags and pink monkey for sites that MIGHT give you some quotes.  You can also try bartelby's online quotations.\n\nBTW:  Sounds like you didn't read the book, or you would have a general idea of where to go for the quotes.

As I don't believe anything more than the worms is waiting for us, I'd be happy to postpone 'that dreadful day' as long as possible. Even if it meant repeatedly seeing my loved ones die... But not if I was condemned to live forever in pain (this question often seems to presume that you wouldn't). So actually, I'd like to 'live forever' in the sense that nothing or nobody else could kill me, but I'd like to be able to reserve the right myself to kill myself.

You ask: <So is the sanctity of life just a human invention based on self interest to protect itself?>\n\nYes. Probably. It's odd, isn't it that life is sacred for the unborn, but once you're born, you're fit to kill, particularly if you're not American. So, the idea is not a human invention, but probably an American invention (of a particular political group) to advance it's own interests. Like all political principles, this principle is filled with contradictions. Instead of principle, I should have said "slogan".

Hey!! Actually it is kinda confusing, but Raoul REALLY says "For either way you choose he has to win". What he means by that is he doesn't want her to through her life away cause later in the song Raoul sings, "DON'T through your life away for my sake!" Remember?Raoul just doesn't want her to marry the phantom to save his life.

While looking for on-line bible quotes to write my answer, I discovered something about the bible.  It's a "living" document.  \n\nFor Genesis 2:17,\nThe King James version (which was used for hundreds of years) says: "for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."  \n\nThe "New American Bible has:"\n"the moment you eat from it you are surely doomed to die."\n\nThere's a big difference in being doomed to die, which every living thing is, and being doomed to die today.\n\nMany of the answers given here said that God didn't really mean die, he meant "spiritual" death.  If that's what God meant, why isn't that what God said?  \n\ncagedape calls Kimmy an idiot. then explains what God meant; "Mankind would forever be changed by man being suceptible to death.  Adam and Eve would have been inpervious to death...".  Well Cagedape, that's not in the Bible, and if it's what God meant, I wonder why god didn't say what He meant instead of relying on you to explain it to us "idiots".\n \nCstorm: Claims "there wouldn't have been ANY death before the first sin."  It's a nice theory, but it's not in the bible.  Not only does everything die, everything ends.  The earth will be swallowed up when the sun becomes a supernova.  The idea that we would have lived forever if it wasn't for that darn serpent is, well, a little simplistic, naive, and childish.\n\nPathfinder: Claims god cannot lie.  I can lie.  Does that mean I can do something God can't?\n\nRandy is correct, it's only a tale.\n\nSuppose you left your children alone in a room prepared for a party, and you told them they could eat or drink anything, but not the chanpagne, if they drank from the chanpagne they would die.  They would of course drink the chanpagne, and you could be found guilty in a court of being a deliquent parent.  You would also have lied, and saying "but I meant spiritual death" wouldn't cut it.  Believers cut god a whole lot of slack, otherwise they couldn't keep believing.

We all die. There's no way around it. Its like a story that you want to write and you have how it begins and you know that its going to end in a final way somehow. Now what do you do put into the middle? You know the old saying,'Do the most with what you have available to you.' Life is temporary, everything is temporary. Life is an oppurtunity to improve yourself. If you dont believe in reincarnation or an afterlife, 'an oppurtunity to improve yourself' might not make any difference. We have theories about what state people are in before and after life, but none of these are absolutely proven. We have a better idea about the nature of life, so that can be something to focus on. I have this theory that 'there is no limit to how bad things can get'. This helps me because I know that the negative has unlimited options and I know that I could spend my whole life floating in uncertainty and vagueness, having no focus, should I direct my attentions to negativity.  Positives are more limited and easier to focus on. Thats just my take on it, it may just be mumbo jumbo to you. There is another way. You know that you can find enjoyment and pleasure in life. Seek them, but try not to cause others to suffer as you do so. Life might just be for fun and your body an amusement park. If life has no point, it is still a matter of character to treat others with dignity and grace. The Golden Rule and all that. \nhttp://subgenius.com\nhttp://slackoff.blogspot.com

Hmm...it's an interesting definition. I would say it's true for the most part. Not all people find it appealing unfortunately. I don't really like this defintion. It just doesn't add up. I wouldn't try to define life. Just live, then make your own defintion, but I don't think there's anyway to someup someone's life in 15 words.

If you really to die, you should have taken your life already.  Instead, you are writing here and trying to express your frustration in life.  I do not know you in person but from what you wrote, I believe that you need a more rewarding life.  You seem to lack close friends, career....focus on something you like and do something different.  If you do not cherish yourself, nobody will!

I found a quotable search engine on the net. I don't know if it has the quote you are looking for; but at least I may be able to point you in the right direction.\n\nhttp://www.quotableonline.com/\n\nI think that quote was in the movie Fahrenheit 451. Toward the end of the movie; there are a collection  of people who memorise books; and I think that quote is where an old man about to die is teaching his book to a young child about 5 or 6 years old.\n\nI don't think the movie tells which book the old man is teaching the child though.

An old woman died. She left a very specific will that says she wanted all her pallbearers( the one who will carry her coffin)  to be all  women. \nWhy?? She said because if no man want to take her out when she was alive why would they carry her when she is already dead. ha!!\nha!! LOL!!!

"Never does one feel oneself so utterly helpless as in trying to speak comfort for great bereavement. I will not try it. Time is the only comforter for the loss of a mother."\n\nAuthor: Jane Welsh Carlyle\nSource: None\n\nhttp://www.worldofquotes.com/topic/Death-_-Immortality/2/index.html

You are upsetting me.  I have searched all of Orwell's works with that quote and no source is turning up, just that it is a quote attributed to Orwell.  I have read 1984 several times, and this quote is ringing all kinds of bells.  It has to be from that book.  I will keep looking for it.  It is personal now.\n\nGot it...\n"The Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters of George Orwell" Volume 4, page 51

This quotation, sometimes with minor changes, appears many times on the Internet, always without attribution to any particular poem -- except once or twice where the poem that is said to contain the quote turns out not to have it.\n\nI checked a couple of scholarly databases and found nothing there.\n\nWhile it's bizarre to have a misquote itself widely quoted, that is not unknown. It's possible Yeats never wrote or said it.\n\nYou might want to ask on this forum of experts: http://killdevilhill.com/yeatschat/wwwboard.html
