Quotes About Death

pereunt et imputantur mors ianua vitae
~ Ed Greenwood
I SUPPOSE YOU LOVEDHIM TOO, THIS BRAWNY WARRIOR? NO, but Mystra did. AND? And nothing. He died. HAH! HER TIME AND ATTENTION WASTED! Not so.

Each passing year holds a better display, and affords grander possibilities.

There is today, every day, set before thee good and evil, life and death--choose thou. For only self can separate you from the love of the Father. For it should be manifested to thee that thou art conscious in a living world, aware of suffering, of sorrow, of joy, of pleasure. These, to be sure, are the price one pays for having will, knowledge. But let that knowledge be spent in a way and manner to help others. For as ye do to thy fellow man ye do to thy Maker.
~ Edgar Cayce

William and Emily There is something about Death Like love itself! If with some one with whom you have known passion, And the glow of youthful love, You also, after years of life, Together, feel the sinking of the fire, And thus fade away together, Gradually, faintly, delicately, As it were in each other's arms, Passing from the familiar room - That is a power of unison between souls Like love itself!

The desire to live life to its fullest, to acquire more knowledge, to abandon the economic treadmill, are all typical reactions to these experiences in altered states of consciousness. The previous fear of death is typically quelled. If the individual generally remains thereafter in the existential state of awareness, the deep internal feeling of eternity is quite profound and unshakable.
~ Edgar Mitchell
