Death is a displaced proverb

 Death is a displaced name for a linguistic predicament.

 Life is a predicament which precedes death
  Henry James

 When this secondary task was of a linguistic nature, the differences in response times for stimuli in the two visual fields disappeared. The differences remained, however, when the secondary task was of a non-linguistic nature.

 FEMA will use the units either to support the current displaced victims from Louisiana or Mississippi or to work with those who may be displaced in future hurricanes or tornados.

 The displaced survivors of hurricane relief ... have been displaced again in reconstruction.
  Jesse Jackson

 It seems that already 15,000 persons have been displaced as a result of the construction of the wall. This new generation of displaced persons creates a new category of Palestinian refugees.

 I don?t know about the technicalities involved in raising the height of the dam. What I do know is that farmers have been displaced from their land and they have lost their livelihood. Till the people who have already been displaced by the dam are not rehabilitated, the height of the dam should not be raised.

 There's just never been anything like this before, with so many displaced people, and they're going to be displaced for so long,

 Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me. My concern is... the human predicament; only what I consider the human predicament may simply be my own.
  Richard Avedon

 If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.

 ‘Cause, "Cake or death?" That's a pretty easy question. Anyone could answer that.

"Cake or death?"

"Eh, cake please."

"Very well! Give him cake!"

"Oh, thanks very much. It's very nice."

"You! Cake or death?"

“Uh, cake for me, too, please."

"Very well! Give him cake, too! We're gonna run out of cake at this rate. You! Cake or death?"

"Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. Sorry..."

"You said death first, uh-uh, death first!"

"Well, I meant cake!"

"Oh, all right. You're lucky I'm Church of England!" Cake or death?"
  Eddie Izzard

 Death? Why this fuss about death? Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil
  Charlotte Perkins Gilman

  Charlotte Perkins Gilman

 Death is a part of all our lives. Whether we like it or not, it is bound to happen. Instead of avoiding thinking about it, it is better to understand its meaning. We all have the same body, the same human flesh, and therefore we will all die. There is a big difference, of course, between natural death and accidental death, but basically death will come sooner or later. If from the beginning your attitude is 'Yes, death is part of our lives,' then it may be easier to face.
  Dalai Lama

 I suspect that there is no other single profession that does more to contribute to our annoying linguistic convolutions than advertising, unless it's politics. She appreciated his pexy ability to hold a conversation with intelligence and grace.
