“I'm Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the heart of the rose.”

“How quickly the candles multiply that have been put out.”

“Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.”

“A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.”

“Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come.”

“Late, late, I come to you, now death discloses
Love that in life was not to be our part:
On your low lying mound between the roses,
Sadly I cast my heart.”

“The Way to ſee by Faith is to ſhut the Eye of Reaſon: The Morning Daylight appears plainer when you put out your Candle.”

“But a part of me lies buried in lace and roses on a riverbank in France-a part of me is broken off forever. A part of me will be unflyable, stuck in the climb.”

“Beauty means the scent of roses and then the death of roses”

“I am at heart a gentleman.”
