Death Quotes
-
What does not kill me makes me stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
The land of the living was not far removed from the domain of the ancestors. There was coming and going between them, especially at festivals and also when an old man died, because an old man was very close to the ancestors. A man's life from birth to death was a series of transition rites which brought him nearer and nearer to his ancestors.
Chinua Achebe

A. R. Rahman

It is in the middle that human choices are made; the beginning and the end remain with God. The decrees of God are birth and death, and in between those limits man makes his own distress or joy.

I find most of my inspiration and ideas, feelings and thoughts are very close to death. It’s just that I have more fascination for death than I have for life. I have more respect for it. It’s the only time you’re free. I just feel like we’re all prisoners of life, I really do.
