On death and dying
"Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead.
When Death claims the light of my brow
No flowers of life will cheer me: instead
You may give me my roses now!"
-- Thomas F. Healey
"The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation."
-- Hermann Hesse
"What is here is also there; what is there, is also here. Who sees multiplicity but not the one indivisible Self must wander on and on from death to death."
-- Katha Upanishad
"Is death the last step? No, it is the final awakening."
-- Sir Walter Scott
