Research challenges the materialistic understanding of death, according to which biological death represents the final end of existence and of all conscious activity.

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.

Death may simply be an alteration in consciousness, a transition for continued life in a nonmaterial form.

Death is the beginning of something.

For those who live neither with religious consolations about death nor with a sense of death (or of anything else) as natural, death is the obscene mystery, the ultimate affront, the thing that cannot be controlled. It can only be denied.

Coming to terms with the fear of death is conducive to healing, positive personality transformation, and consciousness evolution.

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.

The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.

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, like birth, is a secret of Nature.
