The best Quotes by Mary Elizabeth Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep,
I am a thousands winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow,
I am the sunnlight in ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I do not die.

There's no death for those who don't fear it.

Death is so close, always, a breath away, so perhaps it was wise to introduce children to that concept at an early age.

Have you no hope at all? And do you really live with the thought that when you die, you die, and nothing remains?" "Yes," I said.

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.

It's odd, isn't it? People die everyday and the world goes on like nothing happened.

We figure out what death means when we're born, practically, and we live our whole lives in some kind of weird denial about it.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

What happens after you die? Lots of things happen after you die - they just don't involve you.

The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.

It's not the pace of life I mind. It's the sudden stop at the end.

You might be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper.

Death can be the greatest opportunity of your life.

Those that we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.

You are going to lose people in your life.
And I realize that no matter how much you spent with them,
or how much you appreciated them and told them so,
it will never seem like it was enough.

Harry, suffering like this proves you are still a man! This pain is part of being human.

Hope is like a shard of glass. Tread on it, and you'll end up wincing with every step. The best policy is to tweezer it out. Sure, it will hurt like billy-o and the wound will take a while to heal, but after that you can walk again.

You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think we don’t recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself plainly when you have need of him.

I love life. Yeah, I'm sad, but at the same time, I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like... it makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness.

Weeping willow with your tears running down, why do you always weep and frown? Is it because he left you one day? is it because he could not stay? On your branches he would swing, do you long for the happiness that day would bring? He found shelter in your shade. You thought his laughter would never fade. Weeping willow, stop your tears. There is something to calm you fears. You think death has ripped you forever apart. But I know he'll always be in your heart.

Eragon: "The songs of the dead are the lamentations of the living."

When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

I long for poems of an inner harmony in utter contrast to the chaos in which they exist.

The first poems I knew were nursery rhymes, and before I could read them for myself, I had come to love just the words of them, the words alone.

In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you.

It may be said that poems are in one way like icebergs: only about a third of their bulk appears above the surface of the page.

Peace goes into the making of a poem as flour goes into the making of bread.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king.

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

What was it when I looked at you
What power has chained me through and through
And binds my heart with links so tight
I can not live without the sight - of you

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared

When power leads men towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

If you see German soldiers, don't panic. They are here to help.

I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I'm voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.

Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people. Clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that.

It's been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your president. I love the job - but I love my country more.

I am sorry on behalf of most, if not close to all, of Australia at this point. I'm sorry about Raygun and that we broke dancing.

I don't think you understand how Australians work. Once we get a hold of a good quality meme, we drive it into the ground until we die. We're all still dropping the old "I pulled a Bradbury" and that happened over 20 years ago.

I really appreciate the positivity and I'm glad I was able to bring some joy into your lives. That's what I hoped. I didn't realise that would also open the door to so much hate which has, frankly, been pretty devastating.
