“Death? Why all this fuss about death? Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! Death is the essential condition to life, not an evil.”

“We cannot imagine Life without Death, because the entire Life rests on Death, otherwise it wouldn't exist.”

“Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. And with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. In life is death. In death is rebirth. What then is life without death? Life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-What is it but death-death without rebirth?”

“Be of good cheer about death, and know this of a truth, that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.”

“Idealism is the death of the body and the imagination. All but freedom, utter freedom, is death”

“It's interesting how people use that expression, life and death. As if to imply that life is the opposite of death, but birth is the opposite of death. Life...has no opposite.”
