If a painless death, leaving behind beautiful progeny, is the sign of a happy natural state, then the endings of the other arts show us the example of just such a happy natural state.

All games contain the idea of death.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.

Death. The certain prospect of death could sweeten every life with a precious and fragrant drop of levity-and now you strange apothecary souls have turned it into an ill-tasting drop of poison that makes the whole of life repulsive.

Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.

Death is close enough at hand so we do not need to be afraid of life.
