Death Quote by Ally Condie
““Writing, painting, singing - it cannot stop everything. Cannot halt death in it's tracks. But perhaps it can make the pause between death's footsteps sound and look and feel beautiful, can make the space of waiting a place where you can linger without as much fear. For we are all walking each other to our deaths, and the journey between footsteps makes up our lives.””
