Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.

Albert Einstein

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

Albert Einstein

Since the day of my birth, my death began its walk. It is walking toward me, without hurrying.

Jean Cocteau

Are you not moved to tears and bitter compassion, when you behold the only Son of God seized by the most impious, dragged away, mocked, scourged, buffeted, spit upon, crowned with thorns, hung upon the infamous cross between two thieves, finally in such a horrible and execrable manner suffering death, for your salvation and that of the world?

Peter Abelard

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

Jack Lemmon
