“You have left me so long to struggle against death, alone, that I feel and see only death! I feel like death!”

Emily Brontë (1818–1848) English novelist and poet

“How sweet! You still believe in death… that's just so… quaint. Well, sorry to pop your death bubble, but there's no such thing. So make the best of things. Any real belief in death is just wishful thinking. Don't waste good drugs on killing yourself. Share them with friends and have a party. Or send them to me.”

Chuck Palahniuk (1962) American novelist, essayist

“Our job is never easy because drug criminals are ingenious. They work everyday to plot a new and better way to steal our children's lives, just as they've done by developing this new drug, crack. For every door that we close, they open a new door to death. They prosper on our unwillingness to act. So, we must be smarter and stronger and tougher than they are. It's up to us to change attitudes and just simply dry up their markets.”

Nancy Reagan (1921–2016) actress and first lady of the United States

“There is no difference between your death, my death or the death of Jesus. It's just death.”

Mwanandeke Kindembo (1996) Congolese author
