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

—American Indian Proverb
Let people who do not know what to do with themselves in this life, but fritter away their time reading magazines and watching television, hope for eternal life. ... The life I want is a life I could not endure in eternity. It is a life of love and intensity, suffering and creation, that makes life worth while and death welcome. There is no other life I should prefer. Neither should I like not to die.

—Walter Kaufmann
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

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

—Mark Twain
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
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
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

—Benjamin Franklin
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
I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue, than why I have one.

—Cato the Elder
Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.

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

—Mark Twain
Every living creature on earth dies alone.

—Roberta Sparrow / Grandma Death (Patience Cleveland)
I believe in time,
matter, and energy,
which make up the whole of the world.

I believe in reason, evidence and the human mind,
the only tools we have;
they are the product of natural forces
in a majestic but impersonal universe,

—PZ Myers
And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

—Abraham Lincoln
We knew the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love, and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.

—Narrator from The Virgin Suicides (Giovanni Ribisi)
In spite of so many stubborn lies, at every moment, at every opportunity, the truth comes to light, the truth of life and death, of my solitude and my bond with the world, of my freedom and my servitude, of the insignificance and the sovereign importance of each man and all men. There was Stalingrad and there was Buchenwald, and neither of the two wipes out the other. Since we do not succeed in fleeing it, let us therefore try to look the truth in the face. Let us try to assume our fundamental ambiguity. It is in the knowledge of the genuine conditions of our life that we must draw our strength to live and our reason for acting.

—Simone de Beauvoir
Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is.

—Yoda
Death solves all problems. No person, no problem.

—Josef Stalin
