The human body can be placed under huge stresses before death will result.

Steven Magee

Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Subservience of any kind is death to the spirit.

Alice Walker

All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.

Buddha

Life is hard. After all, it kills you.

Katharine Hepburn

The death rate for people who play it safe and for people who live boldly is the same: 100%
