Herman Melville Novelist

All truth is profound.

Herman Melville Novelist

Herman Melville Novelist

Nature is nobody's ally.

Herman Melville Novelist

Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.

Mel Brooks Film Director

Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.

Lord Byron Baron Byron

Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved.

Mark Twain Author

Death opens the gate of fame, and shuts the gate of envy after it; it unlooses the chain of the captive, and puts the bondsman's task into another man's hand.

Laurence Sterne Novelist

The fear of death often proves mortal, and sets people on methods to save their Lives, which infallibly destroy them.

Joseph Addison Essayist

Oh you who have been removed from God in his solitude by the abyss of time, how can you expect to reach him without dying?

Mansur Al-Hallaj Writer
