If I take death into my life acknowledge it and face it squarely I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life - and only then will I be free to become myself.

Prepare for death if here at night you roam and sign your will before you sup from home.

Disease generally begins that equality which death completes.

If I die a violent death as some fear and a few are plotting I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins not in my dying.

Few cross the river of time and are able to reach non-being. Most of them run up and down only on this side of the river. But those who when they know the law follow the path of the law they shall reach the other shore and go beyond the realm of death.

If you live a life of make-believe your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me sailing the open ocean is a real challenge because it's life or death.

I am able to follow my own death step by step. Now I move softly towards the end.

Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy etc. and the less we think about it the better.

The history of the world is the record of the weakness frailty and death of public opinion.

Death is only a larger kind of going abroad.
