What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.

I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
