Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content.
But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.

It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled.

What refuses to die cannot be reborn.

But souls can't be sold. They can only be lost and never found again.

Death cannot be experienced either by the dead or the living.

No one comes back from the dead, no one has entered the world without crying; no one is asked when he wishes to enter life, nor when he wishes to leave.

A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth, ever afterward resumes its liberty.

He cannot become old, for he has never been young; he cannot become young, for he has already become old; in a way he cannot die, for he has never lived; in a way he cannot live, for he is already dead.

Neither can the wave that has passed by be recalled, nor the hour which has passed return again.

The living have no place at the feasts of the dead.

What is that which can never die It is that faithful force that is born into us that one that is greater than us that calls new seed to the open and battered and barren places so that we can be resown. It is this force in its insistence in its loyalty to us in its love of us in its most often mysterious ways that is far greater far more majestic and far more ancient than any heretofore ever known.

A life can’t be replicated and it doesn’t need to be.

It is impossible to love a second time those whom we have really ceased to love.
