Being dead is being weak and walled off.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Human nature is weak.
Dead people don't really die. They live on within you.
Every day without fail one should consider himself as dead. There is a saying of the elders that goes, 'Step from under the eaves and you're a dead man. Leave the gate and the enemy is waiting.' This is not a matter of being careful. It is to consider oneself as dead beforehand.
We tend to talk about death as if it is losing a battle, but that assumes living is winning and dying is not.
Excess of grief for the dead is madness; for it is an injury to the living, and the dead know it not.
Life is trouble. Only death is not. To be alive is to unfasten your belt and look for a fight.
The dead govern the living.
Everything is dead while it lives.
It is not death, it is dying that alarms me.
Unbeing dead isn't being alive.
