“A good death is a death in solidarity with others. To prepare ourselves for a good death, we must develop or deepen this sense of solidarity.”

“One must ask for death to know how good it is to live”

“For to fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise without really being wise, for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For no one knows whether death may not be the greatest good that can happen to man.”

“Not very good with death? Father was a military man, and military men lived with death; lived for death; lived on death. To a professional soldier, oddly enough, death was life.”

“I don't believe in charity. I believe in solidarity. Charity is so vertical. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other person. I have a lot to learn from other people.”

“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.”
