“The aware do not die; The unaware are as though dead already.”
“Everybody was dying, or already dead, or leaving other people, and the year was dying into winter, and the only thing to do was make some noise.”
“But you can’t live your life worried about dying all the time. If you do, you’re dead already.”
“If you die, angel, it means I'm already dead.”
“...Though drowned was just as dead as any other way of dying.”
“Rather than thinking in terms of good and bad, it is more helpful to think in terms of conscious and unconscious, aware, and unaware.”
