At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.

Propaganda must appeal to mankind's better judgment and to the necessary belief in a better future. For this belief, the valley of the shadow of death is but a war station on the road to the blessed summit.

Sometimes I only succeed in beating myself to death.

I don't believe in life after death. But I do believe in some grinding destiny that watches over us on earth. If I didn't, the safety valve would give and the boiler would explode.

I don't fear death because I don't fear anything I don't understand. When I start to think about it, I order a massage and it goes away.

Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through. It is potential liberation and renewal as well as enslavement and existential death.

And that's why I chose on purpose not to have a death scene. We've seen them in a million movies and it's too much like cranking the tears out. I didn't want that scene.

We love death. The U.S. loves life. That is the difference between us two.

I have sworn to only live free. Even if I find bitter the taste of death, I don't want to die humiliated or deceived.

I'm shy and can't for the life of me barge around and slap people on the back. I sit in a corner by myself and am tickled to death when someone comes over to talk to me.

Oh eyes, no eyes, but fountains fraught with tears; O life, no life, but lively form of death; Oh world, no world, but mass of public wrongs.

Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
