"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 "When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death – that is heroism." "Let us put theology out of religion. Theology has always sent the worst to heaven, the best to hell." "In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing." More In Death "There is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it."― Ernest Hemingway "I became a mom at 37 and having a child has been an emancipation for me."― Tori Amos "In the event of the death of a current or former President, like the recent death of President Ronald Reagan, the flag should be flown at half-staff for thirty days from the day of the death."― Michael K. Simpson
