„Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment, for even the very wise cannot see all ends.“
— John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
„Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to "die before you die" --- and find that there is no death.“
— Eckhart Tolle
„We must live, you used to say, as if we were never going to die. - Didn't you know that's how everyone lives, including those obsessed with Death?“
— Emil M. Cioran
„I wasn't particularly afraid of death itself. As Shakespeare said, die this year and you don't have to die the next.“
— Haruki Murakami
„You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book (Lady Chatterley, for instance), or you take a trip, or you talk with Richard, and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death.“
— Anaïs Nin
