"I would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not." ― Robert Green Ingersoll Topic(s): Death More From Robert Green Ingersoll "The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart." "It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense." "Let us put theology out of religion. Theology has always sent the worst to heaven, the best to hell." More In Death "I think the institute of marriage is a noble thing. The idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we’re living to 100. A hundred years ago people were dying at age 37. Til death do us part was a much different deal."― Debra Messing "A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist."― Stewart Alsop "Call no man happy till he is dead."― Aeschylus
