Death is the ugly fact which Nature has to hide, and she hides it well.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.
Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it's what makes life interesting and suspenseful.
I was taught to confront things you can't avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you're trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don't last for ever makes them beautiful.
Death is not something any one of us want to dwell on, but we must all confront it at some point.
Death will never be pretty - its sights and smells too close and crude. And it will never come under our control: it gallops where we tiptoe, rips up our routines, burns our very breath with its heat and sting.
Death is a companion for all of us, whether we acknowledge it or not, whether we're aware of it or not, and it's not necessarily a terrible thing.
There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.
It is only in the light of the inescapable fact of death that a person can adequately engage and enter upon the mysterious fact of life.
Death is the mother of Beauty; hence from her, alone, shall come fulfillment to our dreams and our desires.
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
