When someone we love dies, we get so busy mourning what died that we ignore what didn't.

Ram Dass

Similar quotes

Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.

Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you're free to live. You no longer care about your reputation. You no longer care except so far as your life can be used tactically to promote a cause you believe in.

I regret not death. I am going to meet my friends in another world.

Ludovico Ariosto

That's what literature is. It's the people who went before us, tapping out messages from the past, from beyond the grave, trying to tell us about life and death. Listen to them.

If life must not be taken too seriously, then so neither must death.

People die all the time. Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So you should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if possible, sincerely. It's too easy not to make the effort, then weep and wring your hands after the person dies.

Haruki Murakami
