Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative. – Alfred Adler
And yet, I suppose you mourn the loss or the death of what you thought your life was, even if you find your life is better after. You mourn the future that you thought youd planned. – Lynn Redgrave
I should like to know who has been carried off, except poor dear me — I have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan war. – Lord (George Gordon) Byron
