Death is the liberator of him whom freedom
cannot release, the physician of him whom
medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him
whom time cannot console.
-- Charles Caleb
Colton
1780-1832,
British Sportsman Writer
I
have wrestled with death. It is the most
unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes
place in an impalpable grayness, with nothing
underfoot, with nothing around, without
spectators, without clamor, without glory,
without the great desire of victory, without the
great fear of defeat.
-- Joseph Conrad
1857-1924,
Polish-born British Novelist
As
a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life
well spent brings happy death.

Vinci

While I thought that I was learning how to live,
I have been learning how to die.
