Aprende a vivir y sabrás morir bien.

There is a time to live and a time to die but never to reject the moment.

Life is for the living. Death is for the dead. Let life be like music. And death a note unsaid.

Langston Hughes

Life has more meaning in the face of death.

But grief still has to be worked through. It is like walking through water. Sometimes there are little waves lapping about my feet. Sometimes there is an enormous breaker that knocks me down. Sometimes there is a sudden and fierce squall. But I know that many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.

Madeleine L'Engle
