“Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console.”
—Charles C. Colton

“I think of death as some delightful journey that I shall take when all my tasks are done.”
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Death? Why this fuss about death? Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! . . . Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil.
— Charlotte Perkins Gilman
