A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep.
Along with the lazy man... the dying man is the immoral man: the former, a subject that does not work; the latter, an object that no longer even makes itself available to be worked on by others.
In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.
A man is a god in ruins. When men are innocent, life shall be longer, and shall pass into the immortal, as gently as we awake from dreams.
Sleep - death without dying - living, but not life.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
Many a man will have the courage to die gallantly, but will not have the courage to say, or even to think, that the cause for which he is asked to die is an unworthy one.
A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die, and in order to die he must first awake.
