Death is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down.  The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you.  •Woody Allen    At the end of the game the king and the pawn go back in the same box.  •Italian Proverb    Life is a great surprise.  I don't see why death should not be an even greater one.  •Vladimir Nabokov    Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough.  I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck.  •George Sanders, his suicide note    There is no cure for birth and death  save to enjoy the interval.  •Santayana    Life does not cease to be funny when  people die any more than it ceases to  be serious when people laugh.  •George Bernard Shaw    Do not go gentle into that good night.  Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.  •Dylan Thomas    To live is to dream and to die is to awaken.  •Anonymous     We sometimes congratulate ourselves  at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be  so at the moment after death.  •Nathaniel Hawthorne    All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.  •Anatole France     We are bound to our bodies  like an oyster is to its shell.  •Plato     Dying is like getting out of a car.  You leave a shell behind, but you're the same person as ever.  •President Klein    The mark of your ignorance is the depth  of your belief in injustice and tragedy . What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.  •Richard Bach    If there is a sin against life, it consists  perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. •Albert Camus     We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we yearn for another that will be eternal.  •Anatole France    I'm the one who has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life,  the way I want to.  •Jimi Hendrix    The real malady is fear of life, not of death.
