Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it's what makes life interesting and suspenseful.

It's just as idiotic to say there is no life after death as it is to say there is one.

Knowing how to die is knowing how to live. What is death anyway? It's the outcome of life.

When I did 'Bumble-ardy,' I was so intensely aware of death. Eugene, my friend and partner, was dying here in the house when I did 'Bumble-ardy'. I did 'Bumble-ardy' to save myself. I did not want to die with him. I wanted to live, as any human being does.

I'm not afraid of death.
