Most of us are convinced that we are our egos, which is who we think we are. The ego is part of our incarnation. It dies with the body, which is why we are so afraid of death. Death scares the hell out of who you think you are, especially if you think you are this body.

Ram Dass

Subservience of any kind is death to the spirit.

The first breath is the beginning of death.

Death is so terribly final, while life is full of possibilities.

George R.R. Martin

Dying is like coming to the end of a long novel - you only regret it if the ride was enjoyable and left you wanting more.
