• Normally we do not like to think about death. We would rather think about life. Why reflect on death?

• Under various names, I have praised only you, rivers!
  You are milk and honey and love and death and dance.
  From a spring in hidden grottoes, seeping from mossy rocks,
  Where a goddess pours live water from a pitcher,
  At clear streams in the meadow, where rills murmur underground,
  Your race and my race begin, and amazement, and quick passage.

• The important thing, I think, is not to be bitter. You know, if it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. I think that the worst thing you could say about him is that basically he's an underachiever. After all, you know, there are worse things in life than death.

• We all have ideas about love and death. We keep a close eye out for them our entire lives, seeking one and avoiding the other, knowing all the while that both are mostly beyond our control. It is a both scary and exciting predicament. In the end, it all depends on how you look at it. One thing is for sure; it is never quite what you expect.

• The great river-courses which have shaped the lives of men have hardly changed; and those other streams, the life-currents that ebb and flow in human hearts, pulsate to the same great needs, the same great loves and terrors. As our thought follows close in the slow wake of the dawn, we are impressed with the broad sameness of the human lot, which never alters in the main headings of its history--hunger and labour, seed-time and harvest, love and death.
