To kill a relative of whom you are tired is something. But to inherit his property afterwards, that is genuine pleasure.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.
I think it's your duty to overcome what you inherit in life.
Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy.
Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.
To die is but to leave off dying and do the thing once for all.
A slight daily unconscious luxury is hardly ever wanting to the dwellers in civilization; like the gentle air of a genial climate, it is a perpetual minute enjoyment.
That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.
He who must expend his life to prolong life cannot enjoy it, and he who is still seeking for his life does not have it and can as little enjoy it.
Sleep is a reward for some, a punishment for others. For all, it is a sanction.
The ceaseless labour of your life is to build the house of death.
