Life is not separate from death. It only looks that way.

—American Indian Proverb
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

—Mark Twain
All ideologies end up killing people. If you separate love from nonviolence you turn nonviolence into an ideology, a gimmick. Structures that are not inhabited by justice and love have no liberating or reconciling force, and are never sources of life.

—Jean Goss
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

—Mahatma Gandhi
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, to discover that I had not lived.

—Henry David Thoreau
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

—Benjamin Franklin
Let us endeavor to live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

—Mark Twain
Human life is closely related with the four seasons. It begins in the spring and it ends in the winter. The summer is the best, and the fall is a time to remember when the weather was warmer

—Gustavo Vargas
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind....Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth...I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

—Bertrand Russell
Death solves all problems. No person, no problem.

—Josef Stalin
The body is a sacred garment. It's your first and last garment, it is what you enter life in and what you depart life with and it should be treated with honour.

—Martha Graham
It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.

—Francis Bacon
Better freedom and the chance of death, than chains and the chance of life.

—Raphael Cohn
Because we humans are aware of the transitory character of our existence, we develop anxiety over death. This anxiety is at least in part alleviated by religious beliefs and rituals, which give meaning to one's own life even though life will end. Anxiety about death is further relieved in the many religions that attribute immortality to the soul, either through successive reincarnations or in the form of life beyond death. Evolution, by making humans intelligent, predisposed us to be religious.

—Francisco J. Ayala (31/07/2009)
Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

—C. S. Lewis
I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

—Mark Twain
There's something about death that is comforting, the thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now.

—Angelina Jolie
Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless...

—Paul Bowles
This feather stirs; she lives! if it be so, it is a chance which does redeem all sorrows that ever I have felt.

—William Shakespeare
Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.

—Amelia Burr
