Death Quotes
-
The resurrection of Christ is one of the foundation stones of Christianity. It was the seal of the great work that He came on earth to do.

Peter L. Berger

Everyone wants to be foremost in this future-and yet death and the stillness of death are the only things certain and common to all in this future! How strange that this sole thing that is certain and common to all, exercises almost no influence on men, and that they are the furthest from regarding themselves as the brotherhood of death! It makes me happy to see that men do not want to think at all of the idea of death!
Friedrich Nietzsche
