"There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval." ― George Santayana Topic(s): Death Tags: there More From George Santayana "It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands." "Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men." "The hunger for facile wisdom is the root of all false philosophy." More In Death "If consciousness can function independently of the body during one’s lifetime, it could be able to do the same after death."― Stanislav Grof "Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way, great. But I’d rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody."― Bjork "If physical death is the price that I must pay to free my white brothers and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit, then nothing can be more redemptive."― Martin Luther King, Jr.
