Quote

An awareness of one's mortality can lead you to wake up and live an authentic, meaningful life.

The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.

Not a day has gone by in my life when I haven't thought about death.

The darkest day, if you live till tomorrow, will have passed away.

Death makes us sad, but it can also make us feel more alive.

I've worked very hard to become comfortable with how death works and why it happens. I now know that death isn't out to get me.

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.

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.

I think about death most of the day, every day. We can't escape death, and choosing to ignore it only makes it more scary.
