"Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace."
—Oscar Wilde, The Canterville Ghost
"It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but retire a little from sight and afterwards return again."
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it."
—J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
"They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time."
—Banksy
"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you"
—Welcome to Night Vale
. "You'll drift apart, it's true, but you'll be out in the open, part of everything alive again."
—Philip Pullman, The Amber Spyglass
