Fade Quotations

So remember, it's better to burn out than fade away.
Kurt Cobain

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.
Norman Vincent Peale

Some people seem to fade away but then when they are truly gone, it's like they didn't fade away at all.
Bob Dylan

Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.
James Joyce
