More From Edward Young
More In Death
- "I was taught to confront things you can’t avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you’re trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don’t last for ever makes them beautiful."― Damien Hirst
- "I couldn’t have foreseen all the good things that have followed my mother’s death. The renewed energy, the surprising sweetness of grief. The tenderness I feel for strangers on walkers. The deeper love I have for my siblings and friends. The desire to play the mandolin. The gift of a visitation."― Mary Schmich
- "Research challenges the materialistic understanding of death, according to which biological death represents the final end of existence and of all conscious activity."― Stanislav Grof
