My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father meeting my husband and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much.

The fear of death comes from limited awareness.

Death comes at you no matter what you do in this life and to equate drugs with death is a facile comparison.

Good music comes out of people playing together knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.

In every death a busy world comes to an end.

The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions the emotions - it becomes sterile silly and actually without substance.

If you have only one passion in life - football - and you pursue it to the exclusion of everything else it becomes very dangerous. When you stop doing this activity it is as though you are dying. The death of that activity is a death in itself.

True love makes the thought of death frequent easy without terrors it merely becomes the standard of comparison the price one would pay for many things.

When death comes it is never our tenderness that we repent from but our severity.

If we have been pleased with life we should not be displeased with death since it comes from the hand of the same master.

No matter how prepared you think you are for the death of a loved one it still comes as a shock and it still hurts very deeply.

Prohibit the taking of omens and do away with superstitious doubts. Then until death itself comes no calamity need be feared.

When we have lost everything including hope life becomes a disgrace and death a duty.

It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.

The 'kingdom of Heaven' is a condition of the heart - not something that comes 'upon the earth' or 'after death.'

When your time comes to die be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Death comes to all but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.

A dying man needs to die as a sleepy man needs to sleep and there comes a time when it is wrong as well as useless to resist.

I think feminism's a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There's nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl. But we sort of threw away all the rules so everybody's confused. And dating becomes a sloppy uncomfortable unpleasant thing.

I'm not old-fashioned when it comes to dating but there's something nice about a guy pulling out a girl's chair and opening the door for her even if it's just in the beginning.

I wouldn't tell you anything about anybody I cared about because it becomes entertainment for other people and it sort of just cheapens everything in your life. I would never tell you if I was dating anybody.

The prospect of dating someone in her twenties becomes less appealing as you get older. At some point in your fife your tolerance level goes down and you realize that with someone much younger there's nothing really to talk about.

I fantasize about going back to high school with the knowledge I have now. I would shine. I would have a good time I would have a girlfriend. I think that's where a lot of my pain comes from. I think I never had any teenage years to go back to.

Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational.
