When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity

Death is patiently making my mask as I sleep. Each morning I awake to discover in the corners of my eyes the small tears of his wax

I wish to be cremated. One tenth of my ashes shall be given to my agent, as written in our contract

He who fears death has already lost the life he covets

Your lost friends are not dead, but gone before, advanced a stage or two upon that road which you must travel in the steps they trod

The death of a child is the single most traumatic event in medicine. To lose a child is to lose a piece of yourself

The dreamer dies, but never dies the dream, Though Death shall call the whirlwind to his aid, Enlist men's passions, trick their hearts with hate, Still shall the Vision live! Say nevermore, That dreams are fragile things

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

Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live

Pain and death are part of life. To reject them is to reject life itself
