"Millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon." ― Susan Ertz Topic(s): Death More In Death "If forgers and malefactors are put to death by the secular power, there is much more reason for excommunicating and even putting to death one convicted of heresy."― Thomas Aquinas "Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species."― Friedrich Nietzsche "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
