It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death.

Thomas Mann

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

Orson Welles

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.

George Bernard Shaw

The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.

Homer

Death is our friend precisely because it brings us into absolute and passionate presence with all that is here, that is natural, that is love...

Rainer Maria Rilke

We do survive every moment, after all, except the last one.

John Updike
