“Death is not the opposite of life but an innate part of it. By living our lives, we nurture death.”
                                        
                                        Variant: Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.

                                    “Life is for the living.
Death is for the dead.
Let life be like music.
And death a note unsaid.”
