Duane Michals	Photographers usually want to photograph facts and things. But I'm interested in the nature of the thing itself.

Toni Servillo	I think that beauty can injure you to death. It can cause an injury that can never be cured. Or it can so traumatise you, your life changes direction.

Robert Winston	Women of child-bearing age steadily run out of eggs by the continuous process of cell death. While reading a copy of the 'Guardian' carefully from cover to cover, a normal woman will have lost on average two eggs - while, typically, a normal man will have made 70,000 new sperm.	102
Sam Levenson	If you die in an elevator, be sure to push the Up button.	102
Stanley Hauerwas	Our hope in life beyond death is a hope made possible, not by some general sentimental belief in life after death, but by our participation in the life of Christ.	102
Tecumseh	When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.	102
Terrell Owens	Life and death. At some point we're gonna leave this world. Do I know when? Absolutely not.	102
Thomas Mann	It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death.	102
Warren Zevon	I'll sleep when I'm dead.	102
William Shatner	Divorce is probably as painful as death.	102

Yitzhak Rabin	We do not celebrate the death of our enemies.	102
Annie Dillard	Just think: in all the clean, beautiful reaches of the solar system, our planet alone is a blot; our planet alone has death.	102
Annie Lennox	Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death.	102
Ben Kingsley	If your best friend has stolen your girlfriend, it does become life and death.	102
Brian Blessed	You can't call it an adventure unless it's tinged with danger. The greatest danger in life, though, is not taking the adventure at all. To have the objective of a life of ease is death. I think we've all got to go after our own Everest.	102
Criss Angel	You can't please everyone, and trying to is the kiss of death. I don't care about Wayne Newton's demographics. When I do, I'll know that it's time to quit.	102
Frank Tipler	If any reader has lost a loved one or is afraid of death, modern physics says: 'Be comforted, you and they shall live again.'	102
Ken Jeong	Medicine really matured me as a person because, as a physician, you're obviously dealing with life and death issues, issues much more serious than what we're talking about in entertainment. You can't get more serious than life and death. And if you can handle that, you can handle anything.	102
Martin O'Malley	The death penalty is ineffective as a deterrent, and the appeals process is expensive and cruel to the surviving family members.	102
Maurice Sendak	When I did 'Bumble-ardy,' I was so intensely aware of death. Eugene, my friend and partner, was dying here in the house when I did 'Bumble-ardy'. I did 'Bumble-ardy' to save myself. I did not want to die with him. I wanted to live, as any human being does.	102
Simon McBurney	My experience of my father's death was that it was still taboo; nobody would meet me after my father died because they didn't know what to say.	102
William Goldman	Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.	102
Alex Campbell	I, Alexander B. Campbell, make this statement of the cause of my death to relieve the coroner of the necessity of an inquest, and also let my friends know the motive that led me to take my own life.	102
Amanda Hearst	I started Friends of Finn to raise money and awareness about the issue of puppy mills, which are illegal breeding facilities where animals are often bred to death and mistreated. It's a prevalent problem and a million dollar industry in the United States.	102
Bill Shankly	Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.	102
Emily Greene Balch	These wars appear also to have given its death blow to colonialism and to imperialism in its colonial form, under which weaker peoples were treated as possessions to be economically exploited. At least we hope that such colonialism is on the way out.	102
Georg Buchner	The death clock is ticking slowly in our breast, and each drop of blood measures its time, and our life is a lingering fever.	102
Georg Hermes	Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.	102
George Pierce Baker	What then is tragedy? In the Elizabethan period it was assumed that a play ending in death was a tragedy, but in recent years we have come to understand that to live on is sometimes far more tragic than death.	102
Julius Streicher	There must be a punitive expedition against the Jews in Russia, a punitive expedition which will expect: death sentence and execution. Then the world will see the end of the Jews is also the end of Bolshevism.	102
Michael Sheen	'Hamlet' is one of the most dangerous things ever set down on paper. All the big, unknowable questions like what it is to be a human being; the difference between sanity and insanity; the meaning of life and death; what's real and not real. All these subjects can literally drive you mad.	102
Patrick Marber	A couple of flop plays, a death in the family, and it could all collapse.	102
Tom Mison	The really good thing about 'Sleepy Hollow' is you have no idea who's going to die when... But then equally, we showed in the pilot several people can come back to life, so you have no idea who's going to come back. Death means very little in our Sleepy Hollow, so expect more surprise deaths and more surprise resurrections.	102
Alain Robert	I enjoy every climb - maybe it's because it's a literal dance between life and death.	102
Ben Vereen	The death of my daughter is a subject I talk about briefly because there is nothing more tragic.	102
Edgar Rice Burroughs	Death, only, renders hope futile.	102
Edmund Spenser	Sleep after toil, port after stormy seas, Ease after war, death after life does greatly please.	102
Ellis Peters	Death, after all, is the common expectation from birth. Neither heroes nor cowards can escape it.	102
George Ryan	I support the death penalty. But I also think there has to be no margin for error.	102
Georges Rouault	The richness of the world, all artificial pleasures, have the taste of sickness and give off a smell of death in the face of certain spiritual possessions.	102
Janet Reno	I was personally opposed to the death penalty, and yet I think I have probably asked for the death penalty more than most people in the United States.	102
Tite Kubo	For me, life and death are very important themes. There is no life without death. That's why it's very important to me.	102
Christopher Koch	Even a cup of coffee tastes so much sweeter because you've come once again out of the, literally, out of the edge of death, and that's the condition I suppose that a lot of artists and writers would like to be in.	102
David Sarnoff	We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.	102
Doug Davidson	Father's Day was great, but all the family gatherings brought up my mother's death. Maybe it's me, because I am a wimp. We would get together, but there was someone missing!	102
Morning Star	I would rather die in freedom on my way back home than starve to death here.	102
Ralph Peters	When I'm writing about reality, I'm writing about death. When I'm writing fiction, I'm writing about life.	102
RJ Mitte	My sister is a mess. I love her to death, but she is a mess.	102
Charles Mackay	There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.	102
Myron Scholes	Sometimes the early bird gets the worm, but sometimes the early bird gets frozen to death.	102
Raymond Moody	No doubt many people have the feeling that to talk about death at all is, in effect, to conjure it up mentally, to bring it closer in such a way that one has to face up to the inevitability of one's own eventual demise. So, to spare ourselves this psychological trauma, we decide just to try to avoid the topic as much as possible.	102
Russell M. Nelson	Contemplation of life after retirement and life after death can help you deal with contemporary challenges.	102
Aaron Huey	I want to tell you what it was really like to think death is imminent, but I can't. It's a taste in your mouth. And an emptiness.	102
Anne Bancroft	Life is here only to be lived so that we can, through life, earn the right to death, which to me is paradise. Whatever it is that will bring me the reward of paradise, I'll do the best I can.	102
Duffy Daugherty	When your are playing for the national championship, it's not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.	102
Julianna Baggott	I am politically pro-choice, but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large - especially this world, so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men.	102
Samuel Foote	Death and the dice level all distinctions.	102
James F. Byrnes	Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.	102
Julie Benz	Cause at the end of the day, honestly, at the end of the day when you're in your death bed and that's it, I think it's the relationships you've had and the people that you've touched and the people that have touched you that matter.	102
Jupiter Hammon	There are but two places where all go after death, white and black, rich and poor; those places are Heaven and Hell. Heaven is a place made for those, who are born again, and who love God, and it is a place where they will be happy for ever.	102
Susan Hayward	My life is fair game for anybody. I spent an unhappy, penniless childhood in Brooklyn. I had to slug my way up in a town called Hollywood where people love to trample you to death. I don't relax because I don't know how. I don't want to know how. Life is too short to relax.	102
Anna Akhmatova	All has been looted, betrayed, sold; black death's wing flashed ahead.	102
Jonathan Shapiro	Sometimes I have to compromise my views, but I never compromise on issues like the death penalty and the arm trade laws, despite what the readers or letters may say.	102
Montgomery Clift	The closer we come to the negative, to death, the more we blossom.	102
Joseph Hall	Death borders upon our birth, and our cradle stands in the grave.	102
John Bacon	We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. In the faith that looks through death, in years that bring the philosophic mind.	102
Jonathan Larson	In these dangerous times, where it seems the world is ripping apart at the seams, we can all learn how to survive from those who stare death squarely in the face every day, and we should reach out to each other and bond as a community, rather than hide from the terrors of life at the end of the millennium.	102
Julian Lincoln Simon	The increase in the world's population represents our victory against death.	102
Kanye West	Nothing in life is promised except death.	103
Henry Rollins	I have come to regard November as the older, harder man's October. I appreciate the early darkness and cooler temperatures. It puts my mind in a different place than October. It is a month for a quieter, slightly more subdued celebration of summer's death as winter tightens its grip.	103
Pope Francis	Even today we raise our hand against our brother... We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.	103
Terry Pratchett	The ideal death, I think, is what was the ideal Victorian death, you know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop.	103
W. H. Auden	Death is the sound of distant thunder at a picnic.	103
Angus Young	I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.	103
Corazon Aquino	I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.	103
Eliot Spitzer	Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is, at the end of the day, the most compelling, persuasive, and winning argument against a death penalty.	103
G. Gordon Liddy	They were afraid, never having learned what I taught myself: Defeat the fear of death and welcome the death of fear.	103
George Fox	I saw also that there was an ocean of darkness and death, but an infinite ocean of light and love, which flowed over the ocean of darkness.	103
Germaine Greer	All societies on the verge of death are masculine. A society can survive with only one man; no society will survive a shortage of women.	103
Havelock Ellis	Pain and death are part of life. To reject them is to reject life itself.	103
Lewis Thomas	A lot of people fear death because they think that so overwhelming an experience has to be painful, but I've seen quite a few deaths, and, with one exception, I've never known anyone to undergo anything like agony. That's amazing when you think about it. I mean, how complicated the mechanism is that's being taken apart.	103
Nancy Reagan	I believe that people would be alive today if there were a death penalty.	103
Robert Smith	Everything I do has the tinge of the finite, of my own demise. At some point you either accept death or you just keep pushing it back as you get older and older. I've accepted it.	103
Roger Waters	Not the torturer will scare me, nor the body's final fall, nor the barrels of death's rifles, nor the shadows on the wall, nor the night when to the ground the last dim star of pain, is hurled but the blind indifference of a merciless, unfeeling world.	103
Ronda Rousey	At home, I watch fights and documentaries - that's it. If it's not about the birth and death of stars, 'Frozen Planet,' or someone getting punched in the face, I'm probably not watching it.	103
Ruth Rendell	I think about death every day - what it would be like, why it would happen to me. It would be humiliating to be afraid.	103
Saul Alinsky	Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you're free to live. You no longer care about your reputation. You no longer care except so far as your life can be used tactically to promote a cause you believe in.	103
Thomas Babington Macaulay	And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods?	103
Zebulon Pike	If success attends my steps, honor and glory await my name-if defeat, still shall it be said we died like brave men, and conferred honor, even in death, on the American Name.	103
Albert Brooks	When I was younger, I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something, which never leads to anything except death, where everything leads to. And then as I got older, and then I had my kids and everything, I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.	103
Alison Jackson	When Princess Diana died, I couldn't understand why people were mourning her death in such an enormous, hysterical way when they didn't actually know her for real.	103
Brendan I. Koerner	According to tarot historian Gertrude Moakley, the cards' fanciful images - from the Fool to Death - were inspired by the costumed figures who participated in carnival parades.	103
Christopher Fry	Between our birth and death we may touch understanding, As a moth brushes a window with its wing.	103
Drew Gilpin Faust	When I was growing up in Virginia, the Civil War was presented to me as glorious with dramatic courage and military honor. Later, I realized how death was central to the reality. It was at the core of women's lives. It's what they talked about most.	103
Emily Mortimer	Lots of people there seemed to be in denial, in absolute denial, of death - everybody's pretending that death doesn't happen in L.A.; if you do enough exercise and take enough wheatgrass and have your pill every day, you might not die.	103
Hugh Sidey	The prime minister found something hopeful in the man's eyes and manner. The 30 or so people who run this world analyze one another that way and then make decisions of life and death for us. Scary, but true.	103
Kerry King	When we play 'Angel of Death', it's actually a 2 and half minutes sing 'til our party starts. That song is pretty much been played traditionally in the end.	103
Kevin Richardson	For example, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Every four minutes someone is diagnosed, and every nine minutes someone dies.	103
Klaus Fuchs	At that time I had complete confidence in Russian policy and I believed that the Western Allies deliberately allowed Russia and Germany to fight each other to the death.	103
Lucan	The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life.	103
Meghan O'Rourke	Loss doesn't feel redeemable. But for me one consoling aspect is the recognition that, in this at least, none of us is different from anyone else: We all lose loved ones; we all face our own death.	103
Peter Tosh	To have the truth in your possession you can be found guilty, sentenced to death.	103
Richard Flanagan	I think if 'The Narrow Road To The Deep North' is one of the high points of Japanese culture, then the experience of my father, who was a slave laborer on the Death Railway, represents one of its low points.	103
Salvatore Quasimodo	After the turbulence of death, moral principles and even religious proofs are called into question.	103
Scott Caan	If you don't have any fight in you, you might as well be dead.	103
Thomas Browne	Death is the cure for all diseases.	103
Tryon Edwards	Every parting is a form of death, as every reunion is a type of heaven.	103
Bernhard Langer	It's not life or death it's a game and at the end of the game there is going to be a winner and a loser.	103
John Cusack	When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it.	103
Miyamoto Musashi	Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death.	103
Muqtada al Sadr	I wish to be a martyr, and I don't fear death.	103
Seth Lloyd	Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics.	103
Suzanne Fields	The death of Pope John Paul II led many of different faiths and of no faith to acknowledge their debt to the Roman Catholic Church for holding on to absolutes that the rest of us can measure ourselves against.	103
Ted Dekker	The good news is that even though we walk through this valley of death, we don't have to fear, at least not for ourselves! Unfortunately, there is no way to skip over the valley altogether, we must face death and the evidence of evil all around us. But there will come a day... And what a day that will be!	103
Carol P. Christ	The Goddess of Old Europe and Ancient Crete represented the unity of life in nature, delight in the diversity of form, the powers of birth, death and regeneration.	103
David Chase	Once the subject matter of rock n' roll changed from cars and pop love songs to songs about really true love and the blues and death and mortality, this light bulb went off in my head and I went, 'Oh, that's what they're doing. That's kind of - that's art.'	103
Harold Kushner	I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending that haunts our sleep so much as the fear... that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived.	103
James Belushi	I don't deal with death very well. My brother, John Candy, my dad, my mom, Brandon Tartikoff just a couple of weeks ago. I mean, you lose a lot of people in your life, and that's one thing I am constantly working on - pain management.	103
Kim Elizabeth	We will all, someday, experience death, and become obsolete as a dead leaf falling from a tree, crushed by passersby to ashes underlying the earth.	103
Liu Xiaobo	Hatred is corrosive of a person's wisdom and conscience; the mentality of enmity can poison a nation's spirit, instigate brutal life and death struggles, destroy a society's tolerance and humanity, and block a nation's progress to freedom and democracy.	103
Maureen O'Hara	John Candy knew he was going to die. He told me on his 40th birthday. He said, well, Maureen, I'm on borrowed time.	103
Al Goldstein	Since fame is an illusion and death is in our future all we have is the next moment before we are swallowed into oblivion.	103
Elizabeth Fishel	Comparison is a death knell to sibling harmony.	103
Lucius Accius	A man whose life has been dishonourable is not entitled to escape disgrace in death.	103
Jennifer Armintrout	It's far easier to brush off death if the death in question seems impossible or improbable as a personal threat.	103
Salva Kiir Mayardit	The death of Garang has unfortunately unleashed emotions of anger; some genuine, others cultivated by elements who wanted to pit one group of Sudanese against another.	103
Siegfried Sassoon	Soldiers are citizens of death's grey land, drawing no dividend from time's tomorrows.	103
Aaron Huey	War is death. If we are to engage in war, then we should have to stare it straight in the face and call it by its rightful name.	103
Alan Clark	In the end we are all sacked and it's always awful. It is as inevitable as death following life. If you are elevated there comes a day when you are demoted. Even Prime Ministers.	103
Citium Zeno	No evil is honorable: but death is honorable; therefore death is not evil.	103
John Yoo	Once the attacks occur, as we learned on Sept. 11, it is too late. It makes little sense to deprive ourselves of an important, and legal, means to detect and prevent terrorist attacks while we are still in the middle of a fight to the death with al Qaeda.	103
Matthew Green	Fling but a stone, the giant dies.	103
Jenna McCarthy	What do women do when they get together? We sit around and talk! Men, not so much. My theory is that this difference is genetic and dates back to the hunter-gatherer societies, when the men had to be quiet as they hunted, lest they scare away the bison and then everyone starved to death and it was all their fault.	103
George Eliot	Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.	104
Christopher McCandless	I need your help. I am injured, near death, and too weak to hike out of here. I am all alone. This is no joke. In the name of God, please remain to save me. I am out collecting berries close by and shall return this evening. Thank you, Chris McCandless.	104
Alphonse Karr	If we are to abolish the death penalty, I should like to see the first step taken by my friends the murderers.	104
Anne Hathaway	We assume that we've come so far as compassionate citizens of the world if we do choose to read the news, yet the attitude towards life can be one where we put blinders on and forget that there are civil wars going on. It's easy to forget that there are so many people starving to death every single day.	104
Anthony Hopkins	We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap.	104
Ben Shapiro	Thanks to presidential immunity and executive control of the Justice Department, there are no consequences to executive branch lawbreaking. And when it comes to presidential lawbreaking, the sitting president could literally strangle someone to death on national television and meet with no consequences.	104
Dean Smith	If you make every game a life and death proposition, you're going to have problems. For one thing, you'll be dead a lot.	104
Debbie Wasserman Schultz	To be clear, climate change is a true 800 pound gorilla in the room. The effects of global warming threaten global environmental upheaval over the coming century. But for South Florida and the Everglades, it could be our death knell if urgent action is not taken.	104
Hanna Rosin	The classic war movies of the post-Vietnam era have generally taken on grand, philosophical themes: the meaninglessness of war, the grinding down of man by the machine - the machine being war itself, represented by someone like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in 'Full Metal Jacket,' the sadistic marine who turns his boys into instruments of death.	104
Harriet Ann Jacobs	Death is better than slavery.	104
Hayao Miyazaki	Sometimes I test myself saying, 'If I get a death sentence if I don't make this movie, would I still make this movie?'	104
Ian Mckellen	What's upsetting about an autobiography is that the final chapter is always missing. I mean, you want the death, don't you?	104
Lynn Redgrave	And yet, I suppose you mourn the loss or the death of what you thought your life was, even if you find your life is better after. You mourn the future that you thought you'd planned.	104
Marlene Dietrich	Grumbling is the death of love.	104
Moses	See, I have set before you this day life and good, death and evil... I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life.	104
Nat King Cole	For years the Trio did nothing but play for musicians and other hip people. We practically starved to death.	104
Patrick Henry	Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!	104
Pope Benedict XVI	Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not... with regard to abortion and euthanasia.	104
Robert Benchley	A real hangover is nothing to try out family remedies on. The only cure for a real hangover is death.	104
Robert Green Ingersoll	When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death - that is heroism.	104
Zane Grey	What makes life worth living? Better surely, to yield to the stain of suicide blood in me and seek forgetfulness in the embrace of cold dark death.	104
Abbie Hoffman	Become an internationalist and learn to respect all life. Make war on machines. And in particular the sterile machines of corporate death and the robots that guard them.	104
Barbara Corcoran	A complainer is like a Death Eater because there's a suction of negative energy. You can catch a great attitude from great people.	104
Brooke Shields	My father's death, my move, and my frightening and difficult delivery created a tremendous amount of stress, pain, and sadness for me. I was practically devastated beyond recovery.	104
David Carradine	Why would you be afraid of death? It would be an inconvenience. I have a lot of undone things and it's bound to get in the way. But, no, it doesn't scare me at all.	104
David Mitchell	If the human condition were the periodic table, maybe love would be hydrogen at No. 1. Death would be helium at No. 2. Power, I reckon, would be where oxygen is.	104
Emmylou Harris	Animals have a much better attitude to life and death than we do. They know when their time has come. We are the ones that suffer when they pass, but it's a healing kind of grief that enables us to deal with other griefs that are not so easy to grab hold of.	104
Henry Anatole Grunwald	In medicine as well as in romantic poetry, it is the heart that is the center and controlling mechanics of life. If the heart stops, life stops. The loss of sight doesn't not mean death. Yet for ages, the eyes was believed to contain a human being's vital essence - a not wholly irrational belief.	104
Jan Hus	I hope, by God's grace, that I am truly a Christian, not deviating from the faith, and that I would rather suffer the penalty of a terrible death than wish to affirm anything outside of the faith or transgress the commandments of our Lord Jesus Christ.	104
Katharine Lee Bates	Surely martyrs, irrespective of the special phase of the divine idea for which they gladly give up their bodies to torture and to death, are the truest heroes of history.	104
Loudon Wainwright III	The big things in the average person's life are the romances that they have - and then the destruction and loss of them. Parents, siblings, children, the death of parents, family tension... these are monumental things. They struck me as being interesting to write about. I didn't have a very exotic life, but all this stuff happened to me.	104
Paul Gascoigne	The drink? Yes, I've had tough times in my life, especially the last year, regarding my ex-wife, my kids, I nearly broke my neck, I was on death row with pneumonia.	104
Peter Mullan	There are some people who walk into a room and they oxygenate it, by their very being there's fresh air. Then there are those who come in with the smell of death and they suck the life out.	104
Rosalind Russell	Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death.	104
Bill Shankly	Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.	104
Bret Harte	Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.	104
Brett Hull	I'm scared to death to fly commercial... I have not flown commercial since 9/11.	104
Donna Shalala	But for me, it is when a student has died. I find the death of a young person the most difficult and painful of times. To explain it to other young people, to see a bright future snuffed out, is just awful. I am haunted by those deaths.	104
Hugh Leonard	My father I liked, but it was only after his death that I got to know him by writing the play.	104
Jeff Goodell	One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won't jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.	104
Juliette Binoche	For me, habit is just a synonym for death.	104
L. Neil Smith	I propose a Constitutional Amendment providing that, if any public official, elected or appointed, at any level of government, is caught lying to any member of the public for any reason, the punishment shall be death by public hanging.	104
Louise Erdrich	I got well by talking. Death could not get a word in edgewise, grew discouraged, and traveled on.	104
Polly Toynbee	People want the right to die at a time of their own choosing. Too many families have watched helplessly as a relative dies slowly, longing for death.	104
Dustin Diamond	If I ever went, I'd want to go peacefully in my sleep. I wouldn't want to plan my own death.	104
Georges Bataille	Eroticism is assenting to life even in death.	104
Janet Reno	I had concluded when I was the prosecutor that I would vote against the death penalty if I were in the legislature but that I could ask for it when I was satisfied as to guilt.	104
Russell Lynes	A truly appreciative child will break, lose, spoil, or fondle to death any really successful gift within a matter of minutes.	104
Sonny Rollins	I have seen great jazz musicians die obscure and drinking themselves to death and not really being able to get any work and working in small, funky jazz clubs.	104
Millicent Fawcett	What he has done for women is final: he gave to their service the best powers of his mind and the best years of his life. His death consecrates the gift: it can never lessen its value.	104
Jeremy Grantham	The language 'It's too late' is very unsuitable for most environmental issues. It's too late for the dodo and for people who've starved to death already, but it's not too late to prevent an even bigger crisis. The sooner we act on the environment, the better.	104
Jean Racine	A tragedy need not have blood and death; it's enough that it all be filled with that majestic sadness that is the pleasure of tragedy.	104
Jean Reno	Sometimes I take the watch, or I take the shoes, but usually the souvenir is to take the life you had with those directors, or the crew - the camera person, the lighting person. When you finish a film it's like a little death. You had a family for a bit, and you finish the movie and you probably will never see each other again.	104
Jack Lemmon	Death ends a life, not a relationship.	104
Steve Jobs	No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.	105
Sun Tzu	Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.	105
Thomas Paine	I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.	105
Tupac Shakur	I don't have no fear of death. My only fear is coming back reincarnated.	105
Angela Davis	Had it not been for slavery, the death penalty would have likely been abolished in America. Slavery became a haven for the death penalty.	105
Hannah Arendt	In order to go on living one must try to escape the death involved in perfectionism.	105
Brad Pitt	Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown, and something greater, can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.	105
Dorothy L. Sayers	Death seems to provide the minds of the Anglo-Saxon race with a greater fund of amusement than any other single subject.	105
Edvard Munch	Death is pitch-dark, but colors are light. To be a painter, one must work with rays of light.	105
Giada De Laurentiis	To a billion people around the world surviving on just a dollar a day, the question of what to eat tonight is more about life and death than about recipes. The struggle of poor people around the globe weighs heavily on me, especially now that I am a mother, which is why I work with Oxfam.	105
Hans Urs von Balthasar	But the issue is not only life and death but our existence before God and our being judged by him. All of us were sinners before him and worthy of condemnation.	105
Ian Fleming	You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face.	105
Kirk Cameron	Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve. One man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don't think anyone else should either. So do I support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don't.	105
Mary Shelley	And now, once again, I bid my hideous progeny go forth and prosper. I have an affection for it, for it was the offspring of happy days, when death and grief were but words, which found no true echo in my heart.	105
Nicolas Chamfort	Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It's a palliative. The remedy is death.	105
Peter Benchley	Almost any shark, three or four feet long, could kill a human being if it chose to do it. It could make you bleed to death. But they don't.	105
Richard Louv	If war occurs, that positive adult contact in every shape is needed more than ever. It will be a matter of emotional life and death. There's not a handy one-minute way of talking to your kid about war.	105
Rick Perry	Crucial to understanding federalism in modern day America is the concept of mobility, or 'the ability to vote with your feet.' If you don't support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol - don't come to Texas. If you don't like medicinal marijuana and gay marriage, don't move to California.	105
Saint Bernard	Who is there that can adequately gauge the greatness of the humility, gentleness, self-surrender, revealed by the Lord of majesty in assuming human nature, in accepting the punishment of death, the shame of the cross?	105
Seneca	Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage, or my house when I propose to take a residence, so I shall choose my death when I am about to depart from life.	105
Stephen Leacock	I detest life-insurance agents: they always argue that I shall some day die, which is not so.	105
Steve Earle	We're so terrified of death in Western culture that we have to make up a myth of an afterlife. I think there's something to be said for living your life very mindful of the fact that you're going to die because I think you carry yourself differently. It doesn't have to be this big, negative bummer.	105
Tecumseh	Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.	105
Thomas Mann	The only religious way to think of death is as part and parcel of life.	105
Vance Havner	You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.	105
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart	I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.	105
Alison Gopnik	We fear death so profoundly, not because it means the end of our body, but because it means the end of our consciousness - better to be a spirit in Heaven than a zombie on Earth.	105
Carlos Fuentes	I believe in books that do not go to a ready-made public. I'm looking for readers I would like to make. To win them, to create readers rather than to give something that readers are expecting. That would bore me to death.	105
Dasha Zhukova	I believe in the freedom of choice in both life and death.	105
Geezer Butler	Toward the later days of Sabbath, instead of going in and knocking out what songs we did in rehearsal, we would polish them to death.	105
Keith Henson	People can undergo a sudden change of thinking and loyalties under threat of death or intense social pressure and isolation from friends and family.	105
Leonard Susskind	Life is fragile: it thrives only in a narrow range of temperatures between freezing and boiling. How lucky that our planet is just the right distance from the sun: a little farther, and the death of the perpetual Antarctic winter - or worse - would prevail; a little closer, and the surface would truly fry anything that touched it.	105
Maurice Maeterlinck	All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.	105
Steven Curtis Chapman	I did nothing to deserve God's love; in fact, I was living as an orphan, without hope. Yet God chose to pursue a relationship with me, and through the death of his son Jesus, I was adopted into God's family.	105
Tony Snow	Well, we can't afford blindness anymore. There are tens of thousands of thugs who loathe liberty and love death, and want to annihilate Western civilization.	105
William Gilmore Simms	The dread of criticism is the death of genius.	105
Berenice Abbott	Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death.	105
Don Kardong	Running at night used to frighten me. Part of it was simply safety, the question of whether level ground would truly appear under each tentative footstep, and whether the temporary but complete blindness suffered while running toward headlights was, in fact, concealing death.	105
Gerard De Nerval	The first moments of sleep are an image of death; a hazy torpor grips our thoughts and it becomes impossible for us to determine the exact instant when the 'I,' under another form, continues the task of existence.	105
John Ortberg	Sin is, somehow, at the root of all human misery. Sin is what keeps us from God and from life. It is in the face of every battered woman, the cry of every neglected child, the despair of every addict, the death of every victim of every war.	105
Solon	Call no man happy before he dies, he is at best but fortunate.	105
Dolph Lundgren	I think mortality makes you live a fuller existence. When I was a kid I was scared of death, and maybe that's what made me desperate to get the most out of life.	105
Amelia Barr	That is the great mistake about the affections. It is not the rise and fall of empires, the birth and death of kings, or the marching of armies that move them most. When they answer from their depths, it is to the domestic joys and tragedies of life.	105
Jane Grey	God grant you all your desires and accept my own hearty thanks for all your attention to me. Although indeed, those attentions have tried me more than death can now terrify me.	105
Mark Twain	The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.	106
Elie Wiesel	I decided to devote my life to telling the story because I felt that having survived I owe something to the dead. and anyone who does not remember betrays them again.	106
Harriet Tubman	I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.	106
Lord Byron	Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.	106
Terry Pratchett	I believe everyone should have a good death. You know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. Because after all, tears are appropriate on a death bed. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop.	106
Sophocles	Not even old age knows how to love death.	106
Antonin Scalia	If you think aficionados of a living Constitution want to bring you flexibility, think again. You think the death penalty is a good idea? Persuade your fellow citizens to adopt it. You want a right to abortion? Persuade your fellow citizens and enact it. That's flexibility.	106
Daniel Berrigan	Because success is such a weasel word anyway, it's such a horribly American word, and it's such a vamp and, I think it's a death trap.	106
Ernestine Rose	Agitate! Agitate! Ought to be the motto of every reformer. Agitation is the opposite of stagnation - the one is life, the other death.	106
Fidel Castro	A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.	106
Gwyneth Paltrow	My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much.	106
Hilaire Belloc	Statistics are the triumph of the quantitative method, and the quantitative method is the victory of sterility and death.	106
Horace Mann	Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.	106
Huey Newton	My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning.	106
Lauren Bacall	I was this kid, and I was scared to death of all these pros around me... My head would shake, and my hands would shake, and I discovered if I kept my head down and looked up, my head would not shake, so I started to do that when I could, when it was appropriate in a scene.	106
Martin Heidegger	If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life - and only then will I be free to become myself.	106
Nancy Gibbs	The leading cause of death for girls 15 to 19 worldwide is not accident or violence or disease; it is complications from pregnancy. Girls under 15 are up to five times as likely to die while having children than are women in their 20s, and their babies are more likely to die as well.	106
Paul Stanley	When you start fooling around with drugs, you're hurting your creativity, you're hurting your health. Drugs are death, in one form or another. If they don't kill you, they kill your soul. And if your soul's dead, you've got nothing to offer, anyway.	106
Ram Dass	Pain is the mind. It's the thoughts of the mind. Then I get rid of the thoughts, and I get in my witness, which is down in my spiritual heart. The witness that witnesses being. Then those particular thoughts that are painful - love them. I love them to death!	106
Sam Harris	Religion provides the only story that is fundamentally consoling in the face of the worst possible experiences - the death of a parent, for instance. In fact, many religions take away the problem entirely, because their adherents ostensibly believe that they're going to be reunited with everyone they love, and death is an illusion.	106
Sebastian Junger	I don't think people would climb mountains or jump off bridges with parachutes or kayak Class V rapids if those things didn't offer the brief and horrible illusion of imminent death. They would just be complicated, time-consuming endeavors that we'd steer well clear of because they got in the way of real life.	106
Vincent Nichols	In Christ we see a maturity of love that flowers in self-sacrifice and forgiveness; a maturity of power that never swerves from the ideal of service; a maturity of goodness that overcomes every temptation, and, of course, we see the ultimate victory of life over death itself.	106
William Law	Death is not more certainly a separation of our souls from our bodies than the Christian life is a separation of our souls from worldly tempers, vain indulgences, and unnecessary cares.	106
Yamamoto Tsunetomo	Death seems to be a long way off. Is this not shallow thinking? It is worthless and is only a joke within a dream. It will not do to think in such a way and be negligent. Insofar as death is always at one's door, one should make sufficient effort and act quickly.	106
Yasser Arafat	Our law is a Jordanian law that we inherited, which applies to both the West Bank and Gaza, and sets the death penalty for those who sell land to Israelis.	106
Yuvraj Singh	When one is young, aspiring to play for the country, doing well, any hindrance, like injury or being out of form, can be frustrating and a cause of annoyance or even anger. But once you have a close encounter with death, you realise the real value of life.	106
Bruce Dickinson	Apart from death and taxes, the one thing that's certain in this life is that I'll never be a fashion icon.	106
Cecil Beaton	Americans have an abiding belief in their ability to control reality by purely material means... airline insurance replaces the fear of death with the comforting prospect of cash.	106
Jessamyn West	Faithfulness to the past can be a kind of death above ground. Writing of the past is a resurrection; the past then lives in your words and you are free.	106
Mary Roach	I don't fear death so much as I fear its prologues: loneliness, decrepitude, pain, debilitation, depression, senility. After a few years of those, I imagine death presents like a holiday at the beach.	106
Peter Abelard	Are you not moved to tears and bitter compassion, when you behold the only Son of God seized by the most impious, dragged away, mocked, scourged, buffeted, spit upon, crowned with thorns, hung upon the infamous cross between two thieves, finally in such a horrible and execrable manner suffering death, for your salvation and that of the world?	106
Tammy Bruce	When the courts decide that murderers, rapists, and others who maliciously break our social contract deserve health care that most working Americans can't afford, they are condemning good people to death.	106
Carmen Dell'Orefice	My dream was to become a ballet dancer, but after a year in bed with rheumatic fever at 13, I had grown too tall, and had no muscle tone left. I tried a ballet class and couldn't even do a plie without falling over. It was my first death.	106
John Grisham	Sometimes I can tackle an issue -homelessness, tobacco litigation, insurance fraud, the death penalty - and wrap a good story around it. These are the best books, the ones with a story and a message.	106
Jonathan Davis	When I listen to music, I don't want to hear about flowers. I like death and destruction.	106
Stanislav Grof	For any culture which is primarily concerned with meaning, the study of death - the only certainty that life holds for us - must be central, for an understanding of death is the key to liberation in life.	106
Carol P. Christ	In Goddess religion death is not feared, but is understood to be a part of life, followed by birth and renewal.	106
Charles M. Blow	The first memory I have in the world is of death and tears. That is how I would mark the beginning of my life: the way people mark the end of one. My family had gathered at Papa Joe's house because Mam' Grace was slipping away, only I didn't register it that way. For some reason I thought that it was her birthday.	106
Errol Flynn	Any man who has $10,000 left when he dies is a failure.	106
John Webster	Integrity of life is fame's best friend, which nobly, beyond death, shall crown in the end.	106
Josh Holloway	We're actually doing something scripted that's totally, you know, we kind of know what's going on, however, we're having to live life and death as the art.	106
Elie Wiesel	Man, as long as he lives, is immortal. One minute before his death he shall be immortal. But one minute later, God wins.	107
Kurt Cobain	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.	107
Woody Allen	It is impossible to experience one's death objectively and still carry a tune.	107
Indira Gandhi	If I die a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my dying.	107
Isaac Bashevis Singer	The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.	107
Jack Kerouac	I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.	107
John Steinbeck	It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.	107
Alfred North Whitehead	Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge.	107
Angela Carter	Nothing is a matter of life and death except life and death.	107
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross	It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.	107
Fulton J. Sheen	Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn.	107
Hugh Hefner	I'm very comfortable with the nature of life and death, and that we come to an end. What's most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever.	107
John Donne	Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.	107
Paul Simon	As long as you have capital punishment there is no guarantee that innocent people won't be put to death.	107
Peter Benchley	A human being is still more likely to die of a bee sting, snake bite or, Lord knows, automobile accident than by shark attack. We do not execute the perpretrators of death by car. We should not butcher an animal for an inadvertent homicide.	107
Robert Falcon Scott	We are weak, writing is difficult, but for my own sake I do not regret this journey, which has shown that Englishmen can endure hardships, help one another, and meet death with as great a fortitude as ever in the past.	107
Russell Crowe	I'm sick to death of famous people standing up and using their celebrity to promote a cause. If I see a particular need, I do try to help. But there's a lot that can be achieved by putting a check in the right place and shutting up about it.	107
Sam Harris	As a parent, it's my responsibility to equip my child to do this - to grieve when grief is necessary and to realize that life is still profoundly beautiful and worth living despite the fact that we inevitably lose one another and that life ends, and we don't know what happens after death.	107
Steve Earle	They say death and taxes are the only things that are inevitable. The truth is, you can not pay your taxes. I've done it, and there's consequences, but it can be done. Death you're not going to get out of, and you kind of got to deal with it.	107
Steven Pinker	If you look in general at people who live in anarchy, they have quite high rates of death from either homicide or warfare or both. Anarchy is one of the main reasons for violence, and it may be the most important.	107
William Penn	For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.	107
Anne Sexton	Death's in the good-bye.	107
Daniel H. Wilson	Over the past 50 years we got versions of X-ray specs and space vacations, and even death rays. But the X-ray specs don't fit on your face - they're big things that screen your luggage for guns. Space vacations are real, but they cost $20 million. We have death rays, but you have to be a triple Ph.D. to play with them.	107
Dennis Quaid	When you break up, your whole identity is shattered. It's like death.	107
Jeanne Moreau	As long as you don't make waves, ripples, life seems easy. But that's condemning yourself to impotence and death before you are dead.	107
Lady Gregory	Many a poor soul has had to suffer from the weight of the debts on him, finding no rest or peace after death.	107
Maria Shriver	My mother's death brought me to my knees. She was my hero, my role model, my very best friend. I spoke to her every single day of my life. I really tried hard when I grew up to make her proud of me.	107
Michael Eric Dyson	You cannot hear the name Martin Luther King, Jr., and not think of death. You might hear the words 'I have a dream,' but they will doubtlessly only serve to underscore an image of a simple motel balcony, a large man made small, a pool of blood. For as famous as he may have been in life, it is - and was - death that ultimately defined him.	107
Michel Houellebecq	I tend to think that good and evil exist and that the quantity in each of us is unchangeable. The moral character of people is set, fixed until death.	107
Rob Sheffield	'American Horror' goes for a very specific kind of Seventies suburban downer ambience - 'Flowers in the Attic' paperbacks, Black Sabbath album covers and late-night flicks like 'Let's Scare Jessica to Death.' It even has 'Go Ask Alice'-era urban legends.	107
William C. Bryant	And suns grow meek, and the meek suns grow brief, and the year smiles as it draws near its death.	107
Alexander Chase	Lovers of air travel find it exhilarating to hang poised between the illusion of immortality and the fact of death.	107
Carter Burwell	Death is always around the corner, but often our society gives it inordinate help.	107
Jean Giraudoux	The brave men die in war. It takes great luck or judgment not to be killed. Once, at least, the head has to bow and the knee has to bend to danger. The soldiers who march back under the triumphal arches are death's deserters.	107
Juliana Hatfield	Puerto Ricans who find they can no longer afford to keep their pets often choose to drop their dogs, sometimes even whole litters of puppies, at a beach - sometimes under cover of night, in secret - rather than surrender the animal to a city or state-run shelter where the animals will face grim conditions and almost certain death by euthanasia.	107
Stanislav Grof	There is no fundamental difference between the preparation for death and the practice of dying, and spiritual practice leading to enlightenment.	107
Ronnie James Dio	Saddam's fate should be in the hands of his country men. They were the major victims of his brutal reign and should decide his life, death, or permanent imprisonment. Personally, I would lock him away forever.	107
Jean Anouilh	To say yes, you have to sweat and roll up your sleeves and plunge both hands into life up to the elbows. It is easy to say no, even if saying no means death.	107
James Stephens	Life runs to death as its goal, and we should go towards that next stage of experience either carelessly as to what must be, or with a good, honest curiosity as to what may be.	107
Khalil Gibran	For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.	108
Arthur Schopenhauer	Every parting gives a foretaste of death, every reunion a hint of the resurrection.	108
Emily Dickinson	Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.	108
Vladimir Nabokov	Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.	108
Jackie Kennedy	Even though people may be well known, they hold in their hearts the emotions of a simple person for the moments that are the most important of those we know on earth: birth, marriage and death.	108
Bill Parcells	If you have fun, fine. It's not all life and death.	108
Charlotte Bronte	I feel monotony and death to be almost the same.	108
Enzo Ferrari	One must keep working continuously; otherwise, one thinks of death.	108
Fran Lebowitz	There is no such thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness or death. Any attempt to prove otherwise constitutes unacceptable behavior.	108
George Whitefield	Take care of your life and the Lord will take care of your death.	108
Herodotus	Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.	108
Jerry Garcia	Death comes at you no matter what you do in this life, and to equate drugs with death is a facile comparison.	108
John Greenleaf Whittier	When faith is lost, when honor dies, the man is dead.	108
Leonard Nimoy	Some words having to do with the death of the people in the World Trade Center attack had been added, and when I got to it, I had this overwhelmingly emotional experience. I struggled to get through the words; tears were streaming down my cheeks.	108
O. J. Simpson	I could not tell you the date of my mother's death. I could not tell you the date of my dad's death. These are not dates that I find significant.	108
Paul Lynde	If I ever completely lost my nervousness I would be frightened half to death.	108
Sachin Tendulkar	If efforts to do social work are couched in selfish motives, then they will die a premature death. Why would my efforts get politicised? I have values I inherited from my father. He helped many. Anyone, even a postman knocking on our door would get a glass of water and some sweets.	108
Thomas Wolfe	In Sleep we lie all naked and alone, in Sleep we are united at the heart of night and darkness, and we are strange and beautiful asleep; for we are dying the darkness and we know no death.	108
William Cowper	Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.	108
Dan Savage	Ultimately life is disease, death and oblivion. It's still better than high school.	108
Jan Hus	He that fears death loses the joys of life.	108
Jose Saramago	Death is present every day in our lives. It's not that I take pleasure in the morbid fascination of it, but it is a fact of life.	108
Mary Baker Eddy	Sin brought death, and death will disappear with the disappearance of sin.	108
Patrick Swayze	The longer your life goes on, the more death you face.	108
James Caan	No matter what heights you achieve, even if you're Brad Pitt, the slide is coming, sure as death and taxes.	108
John Piper	The best news of the Christian gospel is that the supremely glorious Creator of the universe has acted in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection to remove every obstacle between us and himself so that we may find everlasting joy in seeing and savoring his infinite beauty.	108
Stanislav Grof	The knowledge of the realm of death makes it possible for the shaman to move freely back and forth and mediate these journeys for other people.	108
Coco Chanel	Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.	109
Florence Nightingale	The world is put back by the death of every one who has to sacrifice the development of his or her peculiar gifts to conventionality.	109
Leo Buscaglia	Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.	109
Nikos Kazantzakis	All my life, I struggled to stretch my mind to the breaking point, until it began to creak, in order to create a great thought which might be able to give a new meaning to life, a new meaning to death, and to console mankind.	109
Simone de Beauvoir	It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.	109
Thomas Hobbes	The disembodied spirit is immortal; there is nothing of it that can grow old or die. But the embodied spirit sees death on the horizon as soon as its day dawns.	109
Alfred Nobel	I intend to leave after my death a large fund for the promotion of the peace idea, but I am skeptical as to its results.	109
Billy Crystal	You have to really respect what your kids are doing with their kids and how they're raising them. You can't push your way into areas where you shouldn't be saying anything. You have to always remember they're not your own kids. Play with them, love them, spoil them to death - then hand them back.	109
Clare Balding	You hear the word 'cancer,' and you think it is a death sentence. In fact, the shock is the biggest thing about a diagnosis of cancer.	109
Damien Hirst	I was taught to confront things you can't avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you're trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don't last for ever makes them beautiful.	109
Dan Aykroyd	Am I a trance medium? No. Have I got a gift psychically? Absolutely not. But I believe in the survival of consciousness after death.	109
David Byrne	The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror - not the glamour and sophistication the pushers in the tobacco industry try to portray.	109
Edvard Munch	Sickness, insanity and death were the angels that surrounded my cradle and they have followed me throughout my life.	109
Elizabeth Barrett Browning	Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.	109
Heinrich Heine	Communism possesses a language which every people can understand - its elements are hunger, envy, and death.	109
Hugh Laurie	Humility was considered a great virtue in my family household. No show of complacency or self-satisfaction was ever tolerated. Patting yourself on the back was definitely not encouraged, and pleasure or pride would be punishable by death.	109
Jean de la Bruyere	There are only three events in a man's life; birth, life, and death; he is not conscious of being born, he dies in pain, and he forgets to live.	109
John Wesley	I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation, and an assurance was given me that he had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.	109
Ken Kesey	Loved. You can't use it in the past tense. Death does not stop that love at all.	109
Stella Young	I am not a snowflake. I am not a sweet, infantilising symbol of fragility and life. I am a strong, fierce, flawed adult woman. I plan to remain that way, in life and in death.	109
Stendhal	True love makes the thought of death frequent, easy, without terrors; it merely becomes the standard of comparison, the price one would pay for many things.	109
Thomas Frank	The great fear that hung over the business community in the 1970s was death by regulation, and the great goal of the conservative movement, as it rose to triumph in the 1980s, was to remove that threat - to keep OSHA, the EPA, and the FTC from choking off entrepreneurship with their infernal meddling in the marketplace.	109
Alexandre Dumas	It is neccessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.	109
Alexei Sayle	I've accentuated the look over the years. As a comic, you try something and if it works you go with it and grind it to death.	109
Anne Bronte	A man must have something to grumble about; and if he can't complain that his wife harries him to death with her perversity and ill-humour, he must complain that she wears him out with her kindness and gentleness.	109
Dean Koontz	Like all of us in this storm between birth and death, I can wreak no great changes on the world, only small changes for the better, I hope, in the lives of those I love.	109
Jan Hus	I, Master John Hus, in chains and in prison, now standing on the shore of this present life and expecting on the morrow a dreadful death, which will, I hope, purge away my sins, find no heresy in myself, and accept with all my heart any truth whatsoever that is worthy of belief.	109
Joni Eareckson Tada	None of us, in our culture of comfort, know how to prepare ourselves for dying, but that's what we should do every day. Every single day, we die a thousand deaths.	109
Lena Horne	Don't be afraid to feel as angry or as loving as you can, because when you feel nothing, it's just death.	109
Leo Durocher	Buy a steak for a player on another club after the game, but don't even speak to him on the field. Get out there and beat them to death.	109
Linda McCartney	My mother was killed in a plane crash, so I hate travelling in planes. Death is so unexpected. I would actually rather stay at home and not go anywhere.	109
Lorna Luft	Instead of joyfully looking forward to my birth, my mother began systematically preparing for her own death. She was fatalistic.	109
Whittaker Chambers	Tragedy occurs when a human soul awakes and seeks, in suffering and pain, to free itself from crime, violence, infamy, even at the cost of life. The struggle is the tragedy - not defeat or death.	109
Adam Clarke	He who is completely sanctified, or cleansed from all sin, and dies in this state, is fit for glory.	109
Mary Schmich	I couldn't have foreseen all the good things that have followed my mother's death. The renewed energy, the surprising sweetness of grief. The tenderness I feel for strangers on walkers. The deeper love I have for my siblings and friends. The desire to play the mandolin. The gift of a visitation.	109
Steve Jobs	Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.	110
Anais Nin	Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.	110
Nikos Kazantzakis	Life is trouble. Only death is not. To be alive is to unfasten your belt and look for a fight.	110
Pope John Paul II	Humanity should question itself, once more, about the absurd and always unfair phenomenon of war, on whose stage of death and pain only remain standing the negotiating table that could and should have prevented it.	110
Euripides	No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow.	110
Jiddu Krishnamurti	We do not know what love is. We know the symptoms of it, the pleasure, the pain, the fear, the anxiety and so on. We try to solve the symptoms, which becomes a wandering in darkness. We spend our days and nights in this, and it is soon over in death.	110
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross	Those who have the strength and the love to sit with a dying patient in the silence that goes beyond words will know that this moment is neither frightening nor painful, but a peaceful cessation of the functioning of the body.	110
Ella Wheeler Wilcox	It has ever been since time began, and ever will be, till time lose breath, that love is a mood - no more - to man, and love to a woman is life or death.	110
Eugene Ionesco	Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well.	110
Friedrich Durrenmatt	Someone who is about to die does not mourn the dead.	110
Harry Browne	Libertarians know that a free country has nothing to fear from anyone coming in or going out - while a welfare state is scared to death of poor people coming in and rich people getting out.	110
Jerry Garcia	I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.	110
Nick Cave	I don't have any authority to talk about the domestic policies of America. But as an outsider, I am mystified by the fact that you are encouraged to buy a gun, but if you use it for the purpose that it is expressly designed for, you get the death penalty. That aspect of America is kind of mystifying.	110
Nostradamus	The sudden death of the leading man will cause change, making another man leader. Soon, but too late, the young man will attain high office. By land and sea, he will be feared.	110
Red Skelton	His death was the first time that Ed Wynn ever made anyone sad.	110
Rose Kennedy	I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts - spirit, beauty, intelligence, the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back - length of life.	110
Stanley Hauerwas	A martyr can never cooperate with death, go to death in a way that they're not trying to escape.	110
Walter Bagehot	No real English gentleman, in his secret soul, was ever sorry for the death of a political economist.	110
A. R. Rahman	My mother's belief in spiritual healers grew stronger after our family went through a rough patch following my father's death. Sufi saint Karimullah Shah Kadri changed our lives, and all of us converted to Sufism. But it wasn't an instantaneous decision - it took us 10 years to convert. The change in religion was like washing away the past.	110
Elias Canetti	He who is obsessed by death is made guilty by it.	110
Georges Bernanos	Hell, madam, is to love no longer.	110
R. D. Laing	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.	110
Sloane Crosley	Are there moments when I see unrequited crushes or ex-boyfriends slow dancing with their dates and kind of want to stab myself in the spleen with a salad fork? Yeah, sure.	110
Arlo Guthrie	The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.	110
Marcus Aurelius	It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.	111
Nelson Mandela	There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.	111
Anais Nin	People living deeply have no fear of death.	111
Billy Graham	No matter how prepared you think you are for the death of a loved one, it still comes as a shock, and it still hurts very deeply.	111
Epicurus	Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.	111

Leonardo da Vinci	Our life is made by the death of others.	111
Lucius Annaeus Seneca	The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.	111
Joel Osteen	You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.	111
Michel de Montaigne	If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.	111
Michelangelo	Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.	111
Alexander Smith	Death is the ugly fact which Nature has to hide, and she hides it well.	111
Barry Goldwater	Where is the politician who has not promised to fight to the death for lower taxes- and who has not proceeded to vote for the very spending projects that make tax cuts impossible?	111
Courtney Love	I like to behave in an extremely normal, wholesome manner for the most part in my daily life. Even if mentally I'm consumed with sick visions of violence, terror, sex and death.	111
Ed Sheeran	As far as songwriting, my inspirations came from love, life and death, and viewing other people's situations.	111
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross	People after death become complete again. The blind can see, the deaf can hear, cripples are no longer crippled after all their vital signs have ceased to exist.	111
Gloria Swanson	Life and death. They are somehow sweetly and beautifully mixed, but I don't know how.	111
Hassan Nasrallah	Israel should not feel satisfaction at my son's death, for he died on the battlefield, facing the conquerors as he wished, with a gun in his hand.	111
Ingrid Newkirk	Bulls can do nothing to demand justice. They can only defend themselves as best they can in a fight with a pre-determined ending and die never knowing why they were forced to endure such a painful and prolonged death. It's up to us, as a civilized society, to call for an end to the Running of the Bulls and bullfighting.	111
Jean Baudrillard	Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly.	111
Jesse Ventura	I've jumped out of an airplane 34 times. I've dove 212 feet under water. I've done a lot of things that defied death.	111
Kirk Hammett	Metallica is like the phoenix rising from the ashes. We set everything on fire, and this is what has risen from it - 'St. Anger' being the fire and 'Death Magnetic' being the phoenix.	111
Miguel de Unamuno	Man dies of cold, not of darkness.	111
Serj Tankian	I am more interested in how people interpret the phrase 'Elect The Dead' than what I may or may not have intended. I named the album after the track, which is a spiritual song about love, life and death and is the heaviest song on the album without having any heavy instruments.	111
Stanley Hauerwas	Time is a gift and a threat because we are bodily creatures. We only come into existence through the bodies of others, but that very body destines us to death. We must be born and we must die.	111
Elias Canetti	There is no such thing as an ugly language. Today I hear every language as if it were the only one, and when I hear of one that is dying, it overwhelms me as though it were the death of the earth.	111
Luigi Pirandello	Whoever has the luck to be born a character can laugh even at death. Because a character will never die! A man will die, a writer, the instrument of creation: but what he has created will never die!	111
Mickey Rourke	When I first met Alan Parker, who directed 'Angel Heart,' he'd heard so many horror stories about me that he was literally scared to death of me. Right away, he sat me down and said, 'I'm very scared of you. I've heard you're a very bad boy.'	111
Albert Einstein	Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.	112
Aldous Huxley	A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.	112
Anne Frank	I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.	112
Billy Graham	Racism and injustice and violence sweep our world, bringing a tragic harvest of heartache and death.	112
Carl Sagan	Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.	112
Ernest Hemingway	There is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.	112
Leonardo da Vinci	As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.	112
Virgil	It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub, the task.	112
Joseph Stalin	The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.	112
Cate Blanchett	We've enshrined the purity, sanctity, value, and importance of bringing children into the world, yet we don't discuss death. There used to be an enshrined period where mourning was a necessary part of going through the process of grieving; death wasn't considered morbid or antisocial. But that's totally gone.	112
Ivan Turgenev	Nature creates while destroying, and doesn't care whether it creates or destroys as long as life isn't extinguished, as long as death doesn't lose its rights.	112
Lewis Mumford	Without fullness of experience, length of days is nothing. When fullness of life has been achieved, shortness of days is nothing. That is perhaps why the young have usually so little fear of death; they live by intensities that the elderly have forgotten.	112
Mahavira	Attachment and aversion are the root cause of karma, and karma originates from infatuation. Karma is the root cause of birth and death, and these are said to be the source of misery. None can escape the effect of their own past karma.	112
Mary Shelley	Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world.	112
Paula Deen	I'll keep peace at all cost, even if I choke to death on my tongue.	112
Tecumseh	Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.	112
Wangari Maathai	It's a matter of life and death for this country. The Kenyan forests are facing extinction and it is a man-made problem.	112
Wendell Berry	It is a horrible fact that we can read in the daily paper, without interrupting our breakfast, numerical reckonings of death and destruction that ought to break our hearts or scare us out of our wits.	112
Wilson Mizner	Those who welcome death have only tried it from the ears up.	112
James Cameron	What are you gonna do, talk the alien to death?	112
Michael Leunig	It's a consoling notion that death is a very tiny hole, and you need to make yourself very small to get through it. One obviously needs to lighten off, and a rucksack full of bricks or a mantelpiece full of trophies will certainly have to be abandoned - the sooner the better, I say.	112
Stanislav Grof	A number of cases have been reported in which a dying individual has a vision of a person about whose death he or she did not know.	112
Benjamin Franklin	In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.	113
Clint Eastwood	Whether you like it or not, you're forced to come to the realisation that death is out there. But I don't fear death, I'm a fatalist. I believe when it's your time, that's it. It's the hand you're dealt.	113
Epicurus	It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.	113
Jean-Jacques Rousseau	No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.	113
Leonardo da Vinci	While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.	113
Ida B. Wells	In fact, for all kinds of offenses - and, for no offenses - from murders to misdemeanors, men and women are put to death without judge or jury; so that, although the political excuse was no longer necessary, the wholesale murder of human beings went on just the same.	113
Angela Davis	We know the road to freedom has always been stalked by death.	113
J. R. R. Tolkien	Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.	113
Joseph Stalin	Death solves all problems - no man, no problem.	113
Brian Wilson	My mother used to tell me about vibrations. I didn't really understand too much of what that meant when I was just a boy. To think that invisible feelings, invisible vibrations existed scared me to death.	113
Dorothy Day	Our faith is stronger than death, our philosophy is firmer than flesh, and the spread of the Kingdom of God upon the earth is more sublime and more compelling.	113
Edith Wharton	Old age, calm, expanded, broad with the haughty breadth of the universe, old age flowing free with the delicious near-by freedom of death.	113
Eric Cantona	If you have only one passion in life - football - and you pursue it to the exclusion of everything else, it becomes very dangerous. When you stop doing this activity it is as though you are dying. The death of that activity is a death in itself.	113
Henry Van Dyke	Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.	113
Horatio Nelson	My character and good name are in my own keeping. Life with disgrace is dreadful. A glorious death is to be envied.	113
Imran Khan	A country that relies on aid? Death is better than that. It stops you from achieving your potential, just as colonialism did.	113
James Hetfield	Just like the poles of a magnet, some people are drawn to death and others are repulsed by it, but we all have to deal with it.	113
Jodie Foster	I feel at various times in my life that I've been at a point where I had to choose between a death sentence and a life sentence. And I want to live. What do I do to live? What do I do to be vital? And the answer is always creativity. The answer is always art.	113
Mike Huckabee	Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care. And that's the story that we're not seeing, and it's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out of children wedlock.	113
Peter Steele	There are no atheists in foxholes, they say, and I was a foxhole atheist for a long time. But after going through a midlife crisis and having many things change very quickly, it made me realize my mortality. And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what's after it. And then you start hoping there is a God.	113
Ray Kurzweil	Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.	113
Rufus Wainwright	I think the minute you mention death, people run for the hills - unless it's heavy metal. People do not like death.	113
Saint Ambrose	God, who preferred the correction rather than the death of a sinner, did not desire that a homicide be punished by the exaction of another act of homicide.	113
Steven Seagal	I have no fear of death. More important, I don't fear life.	113
Stevie Ray Vaughan	Some of us can be examples about going ahead and growing, and some of us, unfortunately, don't make it there, and end up being examples because they had to die. I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn't death.	113
Tom Waits	I'm one of those guys that is still a bit afraid of the telephone, its implications for conversation. I still wonder if the jukebox might be the death of live music.	113
John Ortberg	Art is built on the deepest themes of human meaning: good and evil, beauty and ugliness, life and death, love and hate. No other story has incarnated those themes more than the story of Jesus.	113
Isaac Asimov	Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.	114
Jim Morrison	Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.	114
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin	Death is acceptable only if it represents the physically necessary passage toward a union, the condition of a metamorphosis.	114
Charles de Montesquieu	There should be weeping at a man's birth, not at his death.	114
D. H. Lawrence	Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.	114
Elbert Hubbard	Die, v.: To stop sinning suddenly.	114
Johnny Cash	Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.	114
Joseph Stalin	If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a 'peace conference', you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and airplanes.	114
Julius Caesar	I love the name of honor, more than I fear death.	114
Al Sharpton	The horrific cases in Ferguson, in Staten Island with the death of Eric Garner, and all across the country serve as stark reminders that we must have a say in who polices us, and how that policing is done. We must, we must, let our voices be heard on Election Day.	114
Bodhidharma	Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain.	114
Che Guevara	Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.	114
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross	It is important to feel the anger without judging it, without attempting to find meaning in it. It may take many forms: anger at the health-care system, at life, at your loved one for leaving. Life is unfair. Death is unfair. Anger is a natural reaction to the unfairness of loss.	114
Gertrude Stein	It is natural to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes to that siren until she allures us to our death.	114
Graham Greene	We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.	114
Guru Nanak	There is but One God. His name is Truth; He is the Creator. He fears none; he is without hate. He never dies; He is beyond the cycle of births and death. He is self-illuminated. He is realized by the kindness of the True Guru. He was True in the beginning; He was True when the ages commenced and has ever been True. He is also True now.	114
Helena Bonham Carter	She looks like a warrior. I mean, Bellatrix does mean warrior. And she's also a bit of a fatale. She's the right hand of Voldemort, and the only woman death eater.	114
Horace Mann	Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.	114
John Donne	Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.	114
Jon Stewart	McVeigh's lawyer got him the death penalty, which, quite frankly, I could have done.	114
Lewis Mumford	Misery, mutilation, destruction, terror, starvation and death characterize the process of war and form a principal part of the product.	114
Mitt Romney	Dependency is death to initiative, to risk-taking and opportunity. It's time to stop the spread of government dependency and fight it like the poison it is.	114
Philip Johnson	All architects want to live beyond their deaths.	114
Rollo May	Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one's death.	114
Thomas Mann	For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts.	114
Tom Robbins	In Seattle, I soon found that my radical ideas and aesthetic explorations - ideas and explorations that in Richmond, Virginia, might have gotten me stoned to death with hush puppies - were not only accepted but occasionally applauded.	114
Wendell Berry	The fertility cycle is a cycle entirely of living creatures passing again and again through birth, growth, maturity, death, and decay.	114
Daniel Barenboim	Tradition demands that we not speak poorly of the dead.	114
Donny Osmond	I believe in the institution of marriage. Of course being a Mormon, we believe in eternity rather than just till death do us part. If you really try hard, if you make it work, it's blissful. But I also know a marriage that isn't working can be painful.	114
Matthew Arnold	Spare me the whispering, crowded room, the friends who come and gape and go, the ceremonious air of gloom - all, which makes death a hideous show.	114
Patty Duke	The panic attacks - I still have them. They started when I was around 8. They always have to do with my death.	114
Abraham Verghese	My deceased patients have taught me over the years to believe in the glass half full, to make good use of the time we have, to be generous - that was their lesson for the Uber-mind, and it was free. 'Do that,' they said, 'and then perhaps death shall have no dominion.'	114
Max Heindel	At the moment of death, when the seed atom in the heart is ruptured, which contains all the experience of the past life in a panoramic picture, the spirit leaves its physical body, taking with it the finer bodies.	114
Katharine Hepburn	Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.	115
Benito Mussolini	Inactivity is death.	115
Julius Caesar	Which death is preferably to every other? 'The unexpected'.	115
P. J. O'Rourke	If we heard that somebody starved to death in Sweden or Switzerland, we would be shocked.	115
Clarence Darrow	I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.	115
Daniel Boone	We were then in a dangerous, helpless situation, exposed daily to perils and death amongst savages and wild beasts, not a white man in the country but ourselves.	115
David Duchovny	People think celebrities don't have to worry about human things like sickness and death and rent. It's like you've traveled to this Land of Celebrity, this other country.	115
Edvard Munch	Disease, insanity, and death were the angels that attended my cradle, and since then have followed me throughout my life.	115
Edward Young	Our birth is nothing but our death begun, As tapers waste the moment they take fire.	115
Elizabeth I	Monarchs ought to put to death the authors and instigators of war, as their sworn enemies and as dangers to their states.	115
Gustave Flaubert	A friend who dies, it's something of you who dies.	115
Isabel Allende	All stories interest me, and some haunt me until I end up writing them. Certain themes keep coming up: justice, loyalty, violence, death, political and social issues, freedom.	115
Jorge Luis Borges	To be immortal is commonplace; except for man, all creatures are immortal, for they are ignorant of death; what is divine, terrible, incomprehensible, is to know that one is immortal.	115
Marjane Satrapi	For me, drawing is a question of death and life. Every day I draw, I write, I do something.	115
Marlene Dietrich	When you're dead, you're dead. That's it.	115
Mel Brooks	Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.	115
Paracelsus	Once a disease has entered the body, all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone, but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this; and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster.	115
J. G. Ballard	People think that by living on some mountainside in a tent and being frozen to death by freezing rain, they're somehow discovering reality, but of course that's just another fiction dreamed up by a TV producer.	115
Jean Giraudoux	I'm not afraid of death. It's the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.	115
Woody Allen	There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?	116
Aung San Suu Kyi	War is not the only arena where peace is done to death.	116
Johnny Cash	My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don't ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.	116
Joseph Stalin	One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.	116
Marie Curie	The death of my husband, coming immediately after the general knowledge of the discoveries with which his name is associated, was felt by the public, and especially by the scientific circles, to be a national misfortune.	116
Alfred Adler	Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.	116
Anne Lamott	The earth is rocky and full of roots; it's clay, and it seems doomed and polluted, but you dig little holes for the ugly shriveled bulbs, throw in a handful of poppy seeds, and cover it all over, and you know you'll never see it again - it's death and clay and shrivel, and your hands are nicked from the rocks, your nails black with soil.	116
Guru Nanak	I am not the born; how can there be either birth or death for me?	116
Jack Kevorkian	The Supreme Court of the United States... has validated the Nazi method of execution in... concentration camps, starving them to death.	116
Jean Cocteau	You've never seen death? Look in the mirror every day and you will see it like bees working in a glass hive.	116
Jesse Jackson	A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.	116
Judy Garland	We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.	116
Nathaniel Hawthorne	We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.	116
Robert Green Ingersoll	I would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not.	116
Rush Limbaugh	The message that President Obama delivered in his speech at Notre Dame was: morality is immoral. Pro-life is the extremist position, not a moral position. Yet we should compromise and work to reduce abortions. Where's the compromise between life and death - and why work to reduce the number of them occurring if there's nothing wrong with them?	116
Stokely Carmichael	We were aware of the fact that death walks hand in hand with struggle.	116
Wendell Berry	To hear of a thousand deaths in war is terrible, and we 'know' that it is. But as it registers on our hearts, it is not more terrible than one death fully imagined.	116
Will Self	Death, the real simile for disease - for when we are ill, do we not always feel like we are dying, even if it's only a little? - remains, despite our secularism, the most metaphoricised phenomenon of all.	116
Charles Spurgeon	What an encouraging thought that Jesus - our beloved Husband - can find comfort in our lowly feeble gifts! Can this be, for it seems far too good to be true? May we then be willing to endure trials or even death itself if through these hardships we are assisted in bringing gladness to Immanuel's heart.	117
Douglas MacArthur	I've looked that old scoundrel death in the eye many times but this time I think he has me on the ropes.	117
Sigmund Freud	The goal of all life is death.	117
Abu Bakr	There is no harm in patience, and no profit in lamentation. Death is easier to bear (than) that which precedes it, and more severe than that which comes after it. Remember the death of the Apostle of God, and your sorrow will be lessened.	117
Aeschylus	Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.	117
Donald Rumsfeld	Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war.	117

Heinrich Heine	Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all.	117
Kirk Cameron	Marriage was defined by God a long time ago. Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve - one man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don't think anyone else should either.	117
Kristin Armstrong	I never imagined that divorce would be part of my life history or my family's legacy. When people say that divorce can be more painful than death, I understand why. But like any great trial, God uses everything for good, if we allow Him to heal us.	117
Moliere	We die only once, and for such a long time.	117
Morihei Ueshiba	When life is victorious, there is birth; when it is thwarted, there is death. A warrior is always engaged in a life-and-death struggle for Peace.	117

Stevie Ray Vaughan	I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn't death.	117
Jean Anouilh	Until the day of his death, no man can be sure of his courage.	117
Jim Morrison	People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend.	118
Leo Tolstoy	All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.	118
Thomas A. Edison	There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.	118
Adlai E. Stevenson	Communism is the death of the soul. It is the organization of total conformity - in short, of tyranny - and it is committed to making tyranny universal.	118
E. W. Howe	Some men are alive simply because it is against the law to kill them.	118
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross	I've told my children that when I die, to release balloons in the sky to celebrate that I graduated. For me, death is a graduation.	118

Jim Carrey	It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what's left?	118

Willa Cather	I shall not die of a cold. I shall die of having lived.	118

Frank Sinatra	I'm gonna live till I die.	119
Elizabeth I	My mortal foe can no ways wish me a greater harm than England's hate; neither should death be less welcome unto me than such a mishap betide me.	119
Gary Johnson	Do I favor the death penalty? Theoretically, I do, but when you realize that there's a 4 percent error rate, you end up putting guilty people to death.	119
Horace	Pale Death beats equally at the poor man's gate and at the palaces of kings.	119
Max Lucado	One of the greatest gifts we can give people is the hope that their death is nothing to fear - you know, not that it has no fear in it, but the promise of scripture is that God will lead us through the valley of the shadow of death.	119
Michael Moore	We as Americans believe it's OK to kill people. We believe it's OK to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. We think it's OK to invade a country where we think Osama Bin Laden is and he's in the other country. So we just go in and we just kill. And we have the death penalty; we sanction it.	119
Norman Cousins	The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives - the death of genuine feeling, the death of inspired response, the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself.	119
Ram Dass	Working with the dying is like being a midwife for this great rite of passage of death. Just as a midwife helps a being take their first breath, you help a being take their last breath.	119
Ramana Maharshi	The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.	119
Michel de Montaigne	It is not death, it is dying that alarms me.	120
Cher	I'm scared to death of being poor. It's like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It's my pet paranoia.	120
Shakira	The truth is that I'm more afraid of marriage than of death.	120
Tori Amos	I think everyone understands grief, the journey it takes us on, whether it's the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a disappointment. Some people don't deal with it, the power of it. Some do. Some feel the weight of it and it informs their choices. I've had to open up to grief in different contexts.	120
Umberto Eco	We have a limit, a very discouraging, humiliating limit: death.	120
J. B. Priestley	If we openly declare what is wrong with us, what is our deepest need, then perhaps the death and despair will by degrees disappear.	120

Quentin Tarantino	I look at 'Death Proof' and realize I had too much time.	121
Viggo Mortensen	I'm not afraid of death, but I resent it. I think it's unfair and irritating. Every time I see something beautiful, I not only want to return to it, but it makes me want to see other beautiful things. I know I'm not going to get to all the places I want to go.	121
Buddha	Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.	122

Bill Hicks	We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free.	122
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross	I was destined to work with dying patients. I had no choice when I encountered my first AIDS patient.

Henry Miller	In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.	122
Jean Cocteau	Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.	122

John Cleese	I was very sad to hear of the death of Ronnie Barker, who was such a warm, friendly and encouraging presence to have when I started in television. He was also a great comic actor to learn from.	122

Terry Pratchett	In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character; there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper.	123
Thomas Merton	Death is someone you see very clearly with eyes in the center of your heart: eyes that see not by reacting to light, but by reacting to a kind of a chill from within the marrow of your own life.	123
Tupac Shakur	If you believe in God, believe in Death Row East.	123

Henry B. Eyring	We are the spirit children of a Heavenly Father. He loved us and He taught us before we were born into this world. He told us that He wished to give us all that He had. To qualify for that gift we had to receive mortal bodies and be tested. Because of those mortal bodies, we would face pain, sickness, and death.	123
Patti Smith	I've said this over and over, but I'll say it a million more times - I'm concerned more about the death of a bee than I am about terrorism. Because we're losing hives and bees by the millions because of such strong pesticides.	123
Charles de Gaulle	It is not tolerable, it is not possible, that from so much death, so much sacrifice and ruin, so much heroism, a greater and better humanity shall not emerge.	124

Morgan Freeman	If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it's life or death.	124
Billy Corgan	You know Americans are obsessed with life and death and rebirth, that's the American Cycle. You know, awakening, tragic, horrible death and then Phoenix rising from the ashes. That's the American story, again and again.	124
Erik Erikson	Healthy children will not fear life if their elders have integrity enough not to fear death.	124
Deepak Chopra	We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.	125

Douglas Horton	Death is the final wake-up call.	125

Gloria Steinem	It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.	126
Leo Buscaglia	The minute we stop learning, we begin death, the process of dying. We learn from each other with every action we perform. We are teaching goodness or evil every time we step out of the house and into the street.	126

Max Lucado	If we can understand that death is not the end but is really a transition into the next life, the great part of life, that frees us up into receiving God's courage and his help.	201
Robert Kiyosaki	For something to collapse, not all systems have to shut down. In most cases, just one system is enough. For example, the human body is a system of systems. If just one system, such as the cardiovascular system, shuts down, death follows.	201
Jean Paul	Death gives us sleep, eternal youth, and immortality.	201
Socrates	Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.	202
Epictetus	It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded, but the fear of pain or death.	202

Bear Grylls	The line between life or death is determined by what we are willing to do.	202

Joss Whedon	I don't have a ton of enemies. I get along with people pretty well when I'm not annoying them to death.	202

William Shakespeare	Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.	203

Umberto Eco	The thought that all experience will be lost at the moment of my death makes me feel pain and fear... What a waste, decades spent building up experience, only to throw it all away... We remedy this sadness by working. For example, by writing, painting, or building cities.	203
Albert Camus	Men are convinced of your arguments, your sincerity, and the seriousness of your efforts only by your death.	204

Sitting Bull	If we must die, we die defending our rights.	204
Albert Ellis	I hope to die in the saddle seat.	204
Annie Besant	Death consists, indeed, in a repeated process of unrobing, or unsheathing.

Samuel Butler	Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.	205

W. E. B. Du Bois	I believe in the Prince of Peace. I believe that War is Murder.

Arthur Schopenhauer	Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.	207
Noam Chomsky	There's a War Crimes Act in the United States passed by a Republican Congress in 1996, which says that grave breaches of the Geneva Convention are subject to the death penalty. And that doesn't mean the soldier that committed them - that means the commanders.	207
P. J. O'Rourke	Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.	207
Deepak Chopra	The symbolic language of the crucifixion is the death of the old paradigm; resurrection is a leap into a whole new way of thinking.	208
Dolly Parton	Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston, I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song, and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'	208
Sun Tzu	The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.	209
Chuck Palahniuk	If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character, would you slow down? Or speed up?	209
Albert Camus	We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body maintains its irreparable lead.	210
John Lydon	Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt; they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!	210

Michael Moore	One thing I've learned about death threats is that they're great, actually. You should actually be grateful for death threats because those who are taking the time to threaten you that way are getting it out of their system. That's really what they rant to do, yell at you, and they want to threaten you.	211
Robert Green Ingersoll	In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.	211
Robert H. Schuller	Probably the one Bible passage that is read by Jews and Roman Catholics, Protestants, Islam, more than any other chapter is Psalm 23. And in Psalm 23 there is a verse that says, 'Surely, yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.'	211
Buddha	To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.	212

Horace	Few cross the river of time and are able to reach non-being. Most of them run up and down only on this side of the river. But those who when they know the law follow the path of the law, they shall reach the other shore and go beyond the realm of death.	213

Deepak Chopra	As long as you think of your real self as the person you are, then of course you're going to be fearful of death. But what is a person? A person is a pattern of behavior, of a larger awareness. You know, the two-year-old dies before the three-year-old shows up, the three-year-old dies before the teenager shows up.	216
George Carlin	Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time.	216
Virginia Woolf	Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.	216
