Love — is anterior to Life — Posterior — to Death — Initial of Creation, and The Exponent of Earth —
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Like birth, death is the beginning of a new life. Death is the condition of life, just as birth is the condition of death. Nothing in death is stranger than everything in life; and in Eternity life and death are one.
Life and death are too resolute, too implacable to be accidental.
Let thy vices die before thee.
It was not Death, for I stood up, And all the Dead, lie down — It was not Night, for all the Bells Put out their Tongues, for Noon.
Into the jaws of Death, into the mouth of Hell rode the six hundred.
In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
If you die you’re completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I’m not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I’ve got.
If only I had the magic self of babyhood when I remembered what it was like before I was born, I wouldnt worry about death now knowing both to be the same empty dream.
If I was dead, I wouldn’t know I was dead. That’s the only thing I have against death. I want to enjoy my death.
I’ve always considered my work one piece and I consider that my work won’t be finished until I am dead and buried and I hope that’s a long, long time.
