Disease insanity and death were the angels that attended my cradle and since then have followed me throughout my life.

Yes people pull the trigger - but guns are the instrument of death. Gun control is necessary and delay means more death and horror.

It's an incredible con job when you think about it to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.

If you make every game a life and death proposition you're going to have problems. For one thing you'll be dead a lot.

I'm very comfortable with the nature of life and death and that we come to an end. What's most difficult to imagine is that those dreams and early yearnings and desires of childhood and adolescence will also disappear. But who knows? Maybe you become part of the eternal whatever.

Have an earnestness for death and you will have life.

Loved. You can't use it in the past tense. Death does not stop that love at all.
