“Once the door closed, Tod turned to me. “Girlie, he is fine. He’s fine times twelve. He’s the new definition of fine.” “I’ve been in love with him since I was five,” I told Tod. “I’m in love with him now. I want to have his children,” Tod told me.” TodIndyLee Nightingale Book:Rock Chick Source: Rock Chick
“You're Nash's brother. And a grim reaper?" She blinked again, and I readied myself for hysterics, or fear, or laughter. But knowing emma, I should have known better. "So you, what? Kill people? Did you kill me that day in the gym?" She clenched the headrest, her expression an odd mix of anger, awe, and confusion. But there was no disbelief. She'd seen and heard enough of the bizarre following her own temporary death that Tod's admission obviously didn't come as that much of a surprise. Or maybe Nash's Influence was still affecting her a little. "No," Tod shook his head firmly, but the corners of his mouth turned up in amusement. "I had nothing to do with that. I do kill people, then I reap their souls and take them to be recycled. But only people who are on my list." "So, you're not...dangerous?" His pouty grin deepened into something almost predatory, like the Tod I'd first met two months earlier. "Oh, I'm dangerous...." "Tod..." I warned, as Nash punched his brother in the arm, hard enough to actually hurt. "Just not to you," the reaper finished, shrugging at Emma. "I see you all the time, but you've never seen me, because Kaylee said if I got too close to you, I'd suffer eternity without my balls." "Jeez, Tod!" I shouted, my anger threatening to boil over and scald us all. The reaper leaned closer to Emma and spoke in a stage whisper. "She's not as scary as she thinks she is, but I respect her intent.” FunnyCockyEmmaTodGrim Reapers Book:My Soul to Save Source: My Soul to Save
“Hätten Sie nicht den Glauben verloren, dann würde der Tod Sie nicht derart erschrecken", schrieben mir fromme Seelen mit hämischem Mitgefühl. Wohlwollende Leser redeten mir gut zu: "Verschwinden bedeutet nichts; Ihr Werk wird bleiben." Und in Gedanken antwortete ich ihnen allen, daß sie sich täuschten. Die Religion konnte für meine Mutter ebensowenig leisten wie für mich die Hoffnung auf einen Erfolg nach dem Tode. Ob man sich die Unsterblichkeit als eine himmlische oder eine irdische vorstellt – solange man am Leben hängt, tröstet sie nicht über den Tod hinweg.” TodUnsterblichkeitLebenslust Book:A Very Easy Death Source: A Very Easy Death
“Das verzweifelte Nichtsterbenwollen ist der sicherste Weg zum ewigen Tode, während Sterbenkönnen, Hüllenabstreifen, ewige Hingabe des Ichs an die Wandlung führt zur Unsterblichkeit.” DeathImmortalityTodUnsterblichkeit Book:Steppenwolf Source: Steppenwolf
“Alles Was du gegen den Tod zu sagen hast, ist nicht weniger unwirklich als die Seelen-Unsterblichkeit der Religionen. Es ist sogar noch unwirklicher, denn es will alles bewahren, nicht nur eine Seele. Eine Unersättlichkeit, die beinahe nicht zu begreifen ist.” TodSeeleUnsterblichkeit Author:Elias Canetti
