“Death is always around the corner, but often our society gives it inordinate help.”– Carter Burwell Related Quotes “What is it that dies? A log of wood dies to become a few planks. The planks die to become a chair. The chair dies to become a piece of firewood, and the firewood dies to become ash. You give different names to the different shapes the wood takes, but the basic substance is there always. If we could always remember this, we would never worry about the loss of anything. We never lose anything; we never gain anything. By such discrimination we put an end to unhappiness. (118-119)”— Swami Satchidananda “Each coil has the earthquake which created it, as every death has the life that gave birth to it.”— Sorin Cerin “Do not forget you will never live forever.”— Lailah Gifty Akita
