blewaway5 0 #1 April 22, 2003 Forgive me if anyone finds this inappropriate. I don't think anyone will, but I thought I should say that upfront because I don't want people to misunderstand me. I don't have the words to put my thoughts into. I love to write, I do it a lot, but for a rare moment in my life words have failed me. I was trying to find the right words, and when I couldn't I looked to other's words. What I found was......good. I just thought I'd post them on the off chance they helped someone else cope as much as they have me. Once again, I'm sorry if they hurt and don't help, believe me, I'm not sending them in a mean spirit. For life in the present there is no death. Death is not an event in life. It is not a fact in the world. --Wittgenstein Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?" --Leo Buscaglia Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile initially scared me to death. --Betty Bender Dying seems less sad than having lived too little. --Gloria Steinem I shall not die of a cold. I shall die of having lived --Willa Cather Our fear of death is like our fear that summer will be short, but when we have had our swing of pleasure, our fill of fruit, and our swelter of heat we say we have had our day --Ralph Waldo Emerson For what is it to die, But to stand in the sun and melt into the wind? And when the Earth has claimed our limbs, Then we shall truly dance. --Kahlil Gibran If man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live. --Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Learn as if you were going to live forever. Live as if you were going to die tomorrow. --Unknown I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, that myth is more potent that history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts, that hope always triumphs over experience, that laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death. --From the movie The Crow If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do. --Angelina Jolie The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death. --Unknown Every man dies. Not every man really lives. --William Wallace From the movie Braveheart Be of good cheer about death and know this as a truth --that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death. --Socrates Truman Sparks for President Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
