“Death was a living creature. Death was a man tormented by his past. Death was once a human.”
“But man by his nature is an unnatural animal. If any creature stands a chance of defeating death, it is 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.”
“It is silliness to live when to live is torment, and then have we a prescription to die when death is our physician.”
“Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow-creatures is amusing in itself.”
“No pain, no death, is more terrible to a wild creature than its fear of man.”
