“Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not”
Epicurus
“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”
Norman Cousins
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”
Anais Nin
“Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever.”
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
“Since every death diminishes us a little, we grieve - not so much for the death as for ourselves”
Lynn Caine
“Let us endeavor to live so that when we die even the undertaker will be sorry”
Mark Twain
“Like all of us in this storm between birth and death, I can wreak no great changes on the world, only small changes for the better, I hope, in the lives of those I love.”
Dean Koontz
