If, after I die, they should want to write my biography, There's nothing simpler. I've just two dates-of my birth, and of my death. In between the one thing and the other all the days are mine.

Fernando Pessoa

Old age diminishes our strength; it takes away our pleasures one after the other; it withers the soul as well as the body; it renders adventure and friendship difficult; and finally it is shadowed by thoughts of death.

André Maurois

We have to go along a road covered with blood. We have no other alternative. For us it is a matter of life or death, a matter of living or existing. We have to be ready to face the challenges that await us.

Gamal Abdel Nasser

Dear as remember'd kisses after death, And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign'd On lips that are for others deep as love, Deep as first love, and wild with all regret. Oh death in life, the days that are no more.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man's life and work go on after his death, whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not. There is no such thing as death according to our view!

Martin Bormann
