Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

Fear not death for the sooner we die, the longer we shall be immortal.

Music, love, death. Certainly a triangle of sorts; maybe even an eternal one.

Birth and death are not two different states, but they are different aspects of the same state.

Shake off this downy sleep, death's counterfeit, And look on death itself!

Well, it hides in the dark, like the withering vein. We didn’t give it a mouth, so it cannot complain.

Sleep is lovely, death is better still, not to have been born is of course the miracle.

I've got death inside me. It's just a question of whether or not I can outlive it.

Death is natural and necessary, but not just. It is a random force of nature; survival is equally accidental.

Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone, his own burden, his own way.

And so it was written on the stone of Gahzmud, the third blood moon would bring forth the 3rd resurrection of the Crimson Pharaoh.
