7. “You have conquered, and I yield. Yet henceforward art thou also dead – dead to the world and its hopes. In me didst thou exist – and, in my death, see by this image, which is thine own, how utterly thou hast murdered thyself.”
Edgar Allan Poe

15. “Yes. We both have a bad feeling. Tonight we shall take our bad feelings and share them, and face them. We shall mourn. We shall drain the bitter dregs of mortality. Pain shared, my brother, is pain not doubled, but halved. No man is an island.” Neil Gaiman Friendship, Empathy, Shared Pain, Mortality, Connection
22. “Wherever your life ends, it is all there. The utility of living consists not in the length of days, but in the use of time; a man may have lived long, and yet lived but a little. Make use of time while it is present with you. It depends upon your will, and not upon the number of days, to have a sufficient length of life.” Michel de Montaigne Life, Time, Purpose, Mortality, Wisdom
26. “When, at the end of their lives, most men look back they will find that they have lived throughout ad interim. They will be surprised to see that the very thing they allowed to slip unappreciated and unenjoyed by was their life. And so a man, having been duped by hope, dances into the arms of death.” Arthur Schopenhauer Reflection, Life, Regret, Mortality, Philosophical Insight
30. “What happens after death is so unspeakably glorious that our imagination and our feelings do not suffice to form even an approximate conception of it. The dissolution of our time-bound form in eternity brings no loss of meaning.” Carl Jung After Death, Glorious Eternity, Imagination Limits, Spirituality, Mortality, Transcendence
