Some people, when they die, leave so much life behind that we wonder how they did it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our life is made by the death of others.
People kind of stumble their way through life a lot of times.
We are always doing something to cover up our basic existential anxiety. Some people live that way until the day they die.
Those who live, live off the dead.
It's not lost on me that everyone dies, but some people have a kind of immortality about them, and you can't imagine that they will ever be gone.
Most people don't know what's happening around them because they're just speeding through life. And before they know it, they're just old. So I just try to slow it down.
I understand what happens to the brain when people are near death, and I had always believed there were good scientific explanations for the heavenly out-of-body journeys described by those who narrowly escaped death.
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.
People start to act very unusually when they find out that they're dying, that they don't have that many years left.
It seems to me self-evident that if you have a life, things happen in it, and certain things do change; certain things end. People you know die.
