Tupac ShakurLove whether newly born or aroused from a deathlike slumber must always create sunshine filling the heart so full of radiance this it overflows upon the outward world.
Nathaniel HawthorneNo 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.
Steve JobsI do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.
Albert EinsteinIn the night of death hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.

Ansel AdamsI'm always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I'm listening to it.
George CarlinI would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not.
Robert Green IngersollNot even old age knows how to love death.
SophoclesMinimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.
Chuck PalahniukYou hear a lot about God these days: God the beneficent, God the all-great, God the Almighty, God the most powerful, God the giver of life, God the creator of death. I mean we're hearing about God all the time so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God God is arbitrary.
Bob DylanNo 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.
Billy GrahamNothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not, nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not, unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not, the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin CoolidgeDeath is delightful. Death is dawn The waking from a weary night Of fevers unto truth and light.
James Russell LowellThe most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young you get a gold watch you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs alcohol you party you get ready for high school. You go to grade school you become a kid you play you have no responsibilities you become a little baby you go back into the womb you spend your last nine months floating... ...and you finish off as an orgasm.
George CarlinA 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.
Aldous HuxleyI am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon.
