"People are scared to death and they’re looking for something beyond themselves." ― Jerry B. Jenkins Topic(s): Death More From Jerry B. Jenkins "Gil Thorpe is a great diversion and is to book writing as poetry is to prose." "My dream remains to inform and entertain through fiction in the form of novels and movies that compete in the marketplace of ideas." "Funny, I don’t feel any more powerful today than yesterday." More In Death "The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour."― Bertrand Russell "Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come."― Rabindranath Tagore "Tradition demands that we not speak poorly of the dead."― Daniel Barenboim
