Decay Quotes

Life is one long decay, no? There’s a lot of beauty in it. Like the patina in an old city Picture Quote #1

As public schools deteriorate, the upper-middle class and wealthy send their kids to private ones. As public pools and playgrounds decay, the better-off buy memberships in private tennis and swimming clubs. As public hospitals decline, the well-off pay premium rates for private care Picture Quote #1

Once I am dead, there will be no lack of pious hands to throw me over the railing; my grave will be the fathomless air; my body will sink endlessly and decay and dissolve in the wind generated by the fall, which is infinite Picture Quote #1

Great nations do not succumb through lost wars, but rather through racial decay and the destruction of their internal order Picture Quote #1

Cut a chrysalis open, and you will find a rotting caterpillar. What you will never find is that mythical creature, half caterpillar, half butterfly, a fit emblem for the human soul, for those whose cast of mind leads them to seek such emblems.

When trees mature, it is fair and moral that they are cut for man’s use, as they would soon decay and return to the earth. Trees have a yearning to live again, perhaps to provide the beauty, strength and utility to serve man, even to become an object of great artistic worth Picture Quote #1

All beautiful and noble qualities have been united in me... I shall be the fruit which will leave eternal vitality behind even after its decay. How great must be your joy, therefore, to have given birth to me Picture Quote #1

All that in this world is great or gay, doth, as a vapor, vanish and decay Picture Quote #1

When one tears away the veils and shows them naked, people's souls give off such a pungent smell of decay Picture Quote #1

A government, for protecting business only, is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay Picture Quote #1

He would have lived countless times over the life of the individual, of the family, tribe and people, and he would possess the living sense of the rhythm of growth, flowering and decay Picture Quote #1
