Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
Death is a very important part of life.
Death is an endless night so awful to contemplate that it can make us love life and value it with such passion that it may be the ultimate cause of all joy and all art.
Death is so important that God visited death upon his own son, thereby helping us learn right from wrong well enough that we may escape death forever and live eternally in God's grace.
Modern thought has transferred the spectral character of Death to the notion of time itself. Time has become Death triumphant over all.
Death is something that happens to others, you think, until it happens to you.
Death is with you all the time; you get deeper in it as you move towards it, but it's not unfamiliar to you. It's always been there, so what becomes unfamiliar to you when you pass away from the moment is really life.
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.
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
