It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

Marcus Aurelius

To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again.

Pema Chรถdrรถn

Here I am, 5 o'clock in the morning, stuffing bread crumbs up a dead bird's butt.

Rosanne in Rosanne

Until we know that death is equal to life, we live in fear.
