Halloween Quotes
Halloween has almost nothing of its own on Wikiquote, so the page is built from fear and death. The one entry filed against the holiday is from Jeffrey Ford’s The Empire of Ice Cream (2006): the narrator says Halloween was close and was the favourite holiday because it lacked the holiness of Christmas.
What you get otherwise is Shakespeare on fear and Bertrand Russell on what it does to people, with comedians in between. It will not be seasonal in tone. If you want scary, search for it. If you want something that works as a caption, start here and check the flags.
There's nothing certain in man's life but this:
That he must lose it.
Death
Grinned horrible a ghastly smile, to hear
His famine should be filled.
Behind her Death
Close following pace for pace, not mounted yet
On his pale horse.
Thou fool, what is sleep but the image of death? Fate will give an eternal rest.
Death's but a path that must be trod,
If man would ever pass to God.
The great world's altar-stairs
That slope thro' darkness up to God.
Thou can'st not say I did it; never shake
Thy gory locks at me.
