"Absence from whom we love is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair." ― William Cowper Topic(s): Death More From William Cowper "Where men of judgment creep and feel their way, The positive pronounce without dismay." "Wisdom is humble that he knows no more." "Thus happiness depends, as nature shows, less on exterior things than most suppose." More In Death "Let us all be brave enough to die the death of a martyr, but let no one lust for martyrdom."― Mahatma Gandhi "In fact, death seems to have been a rather late invention in evolution. One can go a long way in evolution before encountering an authentic corpse."― George Wald "Shapes that contain no inner components of positive/negative relationships will function better with other shapes of the same nature."― Keith Haring
