“People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend”

“We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.”

“Do you know how pale & wanton thrillfulcomes death on a strange hourunannounced, unplanned forlike a scaring over-friendly guest you'vebrought to bedDeath makes angels of us all& gives us wingswhere we had shoulderssmooth as raven'sclaws”

“I pressed her thigh and death smiled”

“No pain, no death, is more terrible to a wild creature than its fear of man.”

“Death Makes Angels of us all.”

“We're reaching for death on the end of a candle We're trying for something that's already found us”
