Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.

Love's over brimming mystery joins death and life. It has filled my cup of pain with joy.

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.

Life and death are too resolute, too implacable to be accidental.

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.

I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete.
