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

—American Indian Proverb
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
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

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

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

—Buddha
Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.

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

—Amelia Burr
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
The world is a wonderfully weird place, consensual reality is significantly flawed, no institution can be trusted, certainty is a mirage, security a delusion, and the tyranny of the dull mind forever threatens -- but our lives are not as limited as we think they are, all things are possible, laughter is holier than piety, freedom is sweeter than fame, and in the end it's love and love alone that really matters.

—Tom Robbins
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness, in a descending spiral of destruction. The chain reaction of evil must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.

—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
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
Music has been my outlet, my gift to all of the lovers in this world. Through it — my music, I know I will live forever.

—Michael Jackson (12/2007)
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

—George Bernard Shaw
The survival of democracy depends on the renunciation of violence and the development of nonviolent means to combat evil and advance the good.

—A. J. Muste
And the wild regrets and the bloody sweats None knew so well as I: That he who lives more lives than one, More deaths than one shall die.

—Oscar Wilde
Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public!

—Cornell West
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
