- Birth, life, and death — each took place on the hidden side of a leaf. – Toni Morrison
- Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it. – W. Somerset Maugham
- To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? – William Shakespeare
