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.
To our graves we walk
In the thick footprints of departed men.
These taught us how to live; and (oh, too high
The price for knowledge!) taught us how to die.
Like Moses to thyself convey,
And kiss my raptur'd soul away.
The babe is at peace within the womb,
The corpse is at rest within the tomb.
We begin in what we end.
Death is swallowed up in victory. O Death where is thy sting, O Grave where is thy victory?
I was astounded, my hair stood on end, and my voice stuck in my throat.
