“According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”
Jerry Seinfeld
“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief - love is stronger than death”
Robert Fulghum
“All say, how hard it is that we have to die - a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live”
Mark Twain
“Funerals are pretty compared to death”
Tennessee Williams
“I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.”
“The reason so many people turned up at his funeral is that they wanted to make sure he was dead.”
Samuel Goldwyn
