Alice Borchardt quotes:

If death be the last thing I do, why, I pray the gods and heroes of my people that I try to do it as well as I have done more pleasant things.

Death alone gives meaning to life, and you will never fully live until you know you must die. And make your peace with that knowledge.

So fair a victor, how can I help but be conquered.

Be free always, because of all things, freedom is best, though it is not easily won and must be chosen by those who will enjoy it.
