You needn't die happy when your time comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from the beginning to the end.

Stephen King

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

There is no pretending. I love you, and I will love you until I die, and if there is life after that, I'll love you then.

Cassandra Clare

Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds.

Buddha

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

Edgar Allan Poe

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.

Connie Willis
