"For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep." ― George Santayana Topic(s): Death More From George Santayana "To me, it seems a dreadful indignity to have a soul controlled by geography." "The word experience is like a shrapnel shell, and bursts into a thousand meanings." "The dreamer can know no truth, not even about his dream, except by awaking out of it." More In Death "Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important."― Bill Shankly "Disease, insanity, and death were the angels that attended my cradle, and since then have followed me throughout my life."― Edvard Munch "I believe in books that do not go to a ready-made public. I’m looking for readers I would like to make. To win them, to create readers rather than to give something that readers are expecting. That would bore me to death."― Carlos Fuentes
