Memento mori (Latin: "remember that you must die") is the medieval Latin theory and practice of reflection on mortality, especially as a means of considering the vanity of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits. It is related to the ars moriendi ("The Art of Dying") and related literature. Memento mori has been an important part of ascetic disciplines as a means of perfecting the character, by cultivating detachment and other virtues, and turning the attention towards the immortality of the soul and the afterlife.
In art, mementos mori are artistic or symbolic reminders of mortality. In the European Christian art context, "the expression... developed with the growth of Christianity, which emphasized Heaven, Hell, and salvation of the soul in the afterlife."
In English, the phrase is pronounced /məˈmɛnˌtoʊ ˈmɔːriː/, mə-MEN-toh MOR-ee.
Memento is the 2nd person singular future active imperative of meminī 'to remember, to bear in mind', usually serving as a warning: remember!; mori is the present active infinitive of morior, literally "to die".

It's hard to find words for this. It just came so out of the bushes for me. Tom and Architects has been one of my biggest musical inspirations and influences for over 7 years. Tom's talent both as a guitarist and a songwriter was remarkable and monumental. His and the band's work has always shaped the whole metalcore genre to a whole new direction. They are the spark that still keeps the genre alive and fresh and succeeds to shape metal music as a whole. Rest easy, Tom Searle. My utmost condolences goes to Dan, Sam, Alex, Adam and the whole Searle family and friends. Stay strong. - Lyric Video | LYRICS

This marvellous TV movie is too good not to be seen and how director Jack Clayton managed to assemble the amazing cast is unimaginable! Apart from Maggie Smith, that cast contains a welter of superb British acting talent including Michael Hordern, Renée Asherson, Stephanie Cole, Thora Hird, Maurice Denham, John Wood, Zoë Wanamaker, Peter Eyre, Cyril Cusack, Anna Cropper, Robert Flemyng, Preston Lockwood, Muriel Pavlow, Frank Shelley - and others who I apologise for leaving out of this cast break-down... I do not own the rights to this film...

Uneori as vrea sa fii ramas Acelasi copil putin retras; Acelasi copil, cand asteptam Craciunul, cu nasul lipit de geam. As vrea sa nu inteleg tot ce inteleg acum. Mi-as dorii sa nu spun ce spun. Fara sa vrei, fara sa-ti dai seama Nu ii mai ai in preajma pe tata si pe mama.

"MEMENTO MORI" Remember your mortality – Stemming from the medieval Latin theory and practice of reflection on mortality, it has been a ubiquitous part of human culture for centuries. From the philosophical to the artistic, the fascination, fear and appreciation of death has consistently captivated and cultivated our imagination. Many practitioners of this theory kept with them, artifacts or keepsakes which served as a reminder that the only thing certain in life, was death. Many of these items were often objects (watches, necklaces) in the shape of skulls. The low-poly design for me represents a simplistic one. The bare “bones” of 3D creation and graphic art, the first steps of animation or as I see it, the beginning of (virtual) life. Many historians believe that playing cards represent...
Memento Mori -Victorian Death Photos-EXTREMELY CREEPY With the advent of photography in the Victorian era a rather unusual practice evolved. Having photos taken was very expensive and most families didn’t own a camera. It is well known that mortality rates were high in this era due mostly to diseases and poor hygiene. When a loved one died the Victorians were presented with an opportunity to imortalise their beloved in a way that was previously impossible: they could photograph them. Because of the high cost of photography, post-mortem photographs were, in many cases, the only photograph a family had of the deceased. In the earliest forms of post-mortem photography, coffins were seldom seen and the dead would be posed as if they were still alive. Children were posed with toys or asleep in ...

Post-mortem photography (also known as Memento Mori, memorial portraiture or a mourning portrait) is the practice of photographing the recently deceased. These photographs of deceased loved ones were a normal part of American and European culture in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Commissioned by grieving families, postmortem photographs not only helped in the grieving process, but often represented the only visual remembrance of the deceased and were among a family's most precious possessions.
Who wants to separate The world we know from our beliefs And who sees only black and white Distinguish loss from sacrifice Some day we may come to peace With the world within ourselves And I will await you Until I close my eyes When your time has come You know you'll be lonely once again And the final winter comes to us all Life is treacherous But you're not the only who must pretend We're a second in time We're the last in the line Of the prey that walks the earth Good and evil combined I am the god in my own history The master of the game I may believe if she would come to me And whisper out my name Sometimes I wonder where the wind has gone If life has ever been Sometimes I wonder how belief alone Can cut me free from sin When you close your eyes Mementos of summer retrieves your mi...
Memento Mori
Who wants to separate
The world we know from our beliefs
And who sees only black and white
Distinguish loss from sacrifice
Some day we may come to peace
With the world within ourselves
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes
When your time has come
You know you'll be lonely once again
And the final winter comes to us all
Life is treacherous
But you're not the only who must pretend
We're a second in time
We're the last in the line
Of the prey that walks the earth
Good and evil combined
I am the god in my own history
The master of the game
I may believe if she would come to me
And whisper out my name
Sometimes I wonder where the wind has gone
If life has ever been
Sometimes I wonder how belief alone
Can cut me free from sin
When you close your eyes
Mementos of summer retrieves your mind
Like a drizzle afternoon cleans the air
When the winter blows
You're glad you remember you really tried
And it comes to an end
Even winter... life fall
And we all have our beliefs
Pray for mercy for all
I am a man without a mystery
The deal is done within
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
And pay for every sin
[Helena]
VICTORIA, NON PRAEDA
MEMENTO MORI
[Mephisto]
UNA VOCE... VOLO, NON VALEO
DULCE ET DECORUM EST
PRO PATRIA MORI
MEMENTO MORI
[Ariel]
So subservant in your embrace
No more denial
No run away
This is the final
My last recall
And that's the price for what we learn
The more we know the more we yearn
Cause we're so alone
I am a man without a mystery
The deal is done within
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
The journey can begin
I'm still the god in my own history
I still believe that she will come to me
And whisper out my name
Some day we will come to peace
And reach beyond behind the lies
And I will await you
