Patrick Henry

The action of a thing is the same as the naming of it - is, in fact, the real name. The trees creak and they are saying, 'trees creak through the long night.' The long night - what is it? Trees creaking. There wasn't anything that tied life's moments together, except life. And when it was gone?

Henry David Thoreau

Ambrose Bierce

Most of us harbour a significant amount of subconscious fear about death, and act out of this fear in our daily lives.

Christy Turlington

To have found you is a dear happiness; and to be Apollo's son is beyond all my hopes; but there is something I want to say to you alone. Come; this is a private matter between us two - anything you tell me shall be as secret as the grave.

Euripides, Ion
