I touch you knowing we weren’t born tomorrow, and somehow, each of us will help the other live, and somewhere, each of us must help the other die.
― Adrienne Rich, Twenty-One Love Poems.
It is necessary to meditate early, and often, on the art of dying to succeed later in doing it properly just once. ― Umberto Eco, The Island of the Day Before
Don’t send me flowers when I’m dead. If you like me, send them
while I’m alive. – Brian Clough
Life is hard. Then you die. Then they throw dirt in your face. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order.
