Imminent Death Quotes

• In a last violent protest against the hopelessness of imminent death, I sensed my spirit piercing through the enveloping gloom. I felt it transcend that hopeless, meaningless world, and from somewhere I heard a victorious "Yes" in answer to my question of the existence of an ultimate purpose. At that moment a light was lit in a distant farmhouse, which stood on the horizon as if painted there, in the midst of the miserable gray of a dawning morning in Bavaria. "Et lux in tenebris lucet"-and the light shineth in the darkness.

• The human condition is what it is. We can see beauty and wonder in the world, but we also face imminent death and uncertainty, and we often need to sidestep the idea of time and communicate with each other, not with words but with a sense of community and union. I don't want to make an overreaching statement, but I think that's the function of culture.

• Hay mucha mierda de Hollywood sobre volar. Quiero decir, mira las películas sobre pilotos de pruebas o pilotos de caza que se enfrentan a una muerte inminente. Los mandos están atascados o algo muy importante se ha caído del avión, y esos tipos hablan como urracas; sus vidas pasan por delante de sus ojos y se agitan en la cabina. Simplemente no pasa nada. No tienes tiempo para hablar. Estás demasiado ocupado intentando salir del problema en el que te encuentras como para hablar o rebotar por la cabina. O piensa en lo que pasó la noche después de tu baile de graduación.

• I don't think people would climb mountains or jump off bridges with parachutes or kayak Class V rapids if those things didn't offer the brief and horrible illusion of imminent death. They would just be complicated, time-consuming endeavors that we'd steer well clear of because they got in the way of real life.
