People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.

Marcel Proust

I love the name of honor, more than I fear death.

Julius Caesar

He felt that if he could not be alone, and if he could not be left alone, he would die.

D. H. Lawrence

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

Elie Wiesel

To lose your father is to lose the one whose guidance and help you seek, who supports you like a tree trunk supports its branches.

Yann Martel

A lot of people think the whole purpose of life is just to collect stuff. You've seen the bumper sticker: "He who dies with the most toys, wins." The truth is, "He who dies with the most toys... Still dies!"

Rick Warren
