Don’t strew me with roses after I’m dead. When Death claims the light of my brow No flowers of life will cheer me: instead You may give me my roses now!<\/span>

\nAldous Huxley<\/span><\/p>\n

Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can’t be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?<\/span>

I stay a little longer, as one stays, to cover up the embers that still burn.<\/span>

How strange this fear of death is! We are never frightened at a sunset.<\/span>

\nMarcus Annaeus Seneca<\/span><\/p>\n

After life’s fitful fever he sleeps well. Treason has done his worst. Nor steel nor poison, malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing can touch him further.<\/span>

The weariest and most loathed worldly life, that age, ache, penury and imprisonment can lay on nature is a paradise, to what we fear of death.<\/span>
