"Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye." ― Francois de La Rochefoucauld Topic(s): Death Tags: death, neither More From Francois de La Rochefoucauld "Those that have had great passions esteem themselves for the rest of their lives fortunate and unfortunate in being cured of them." "Love can no more continue without a constant motion than fire can; and when once you take hope and fear away, you take from it its very life and being." "Great souls are not those who have fewer passions and more virtues than others, but only those who have greater designs." More In Death "When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it."― John Cusack "Love is often the fruit of marriage."― Moliere "Those who have the strength and the love to sit with a dying patient in the silence that goes beyond words will know that this moment is neither frightening nor painful, but a peaceful cessation of the functioning of the body."― Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
