I think that there is something beautiful about mortality. It makes our decisions mean more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was fascinated by mortality. Most people are, even if they don't admit it.
Death in its natural state can be very beautiful. When you think about a body that's died of natural causes - family taking care of it - all of that is very beautiful.
Mortality is very brief but immeasurably important.
I think mortality makes you live a fuller existence. When I was a kid I was scared of death, and maybe that's what made me desperate to get the most out of life.
I think when you think of death as being part of the life cycle and recognize that death is an inevitability for our species because the world has to be renewed with each death, then the hope becomes when it is renewed it will be renewed by people on whom I have had some influence for good.
I think at the prospect of bringing children into the world, your mortality comes very much to the forefront, absolutely.
Death is a very important part of life.
If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do.
God has put within our lives meanings and possibilities that quite outrun the limits of mortality.
When we look on the roses and gaiety of youth, the mournful idea of mortality is altogether alien to our thoughts. We have heard of it as a speculation and a tale, but nothing but experience can bring it home to us.
