“Everybody dies … The thing is, to have a life before we die.”

“He who dies before he dies does not die when he dies.”

“Die before the one whom you love; to live after he dies is to live a worthless life in this world.”

“A thing may happen and be a total lie; another thing may not happen and be truer than the truth. For example: Four guys go down a trail. A grenade sails out. One guy jumps on it and takes the blast, but it's a killer grenade and everybody dies anyway. Before they die, though, one of the dead guys says, "The fuck you do that for?"”

“Everybody has an angel hiding inside. When you die, your angel comes out. You can die, but not your angel. Your angel never dies.”

“I must die so as to see again those who died before, and to tell them the seed we sowed has taken root.”

“Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.”

“Death is not a tragedy to the one who dies; to have wasted the life before that death, that is the tragedy.”

“That which we die for lives as wholly as that which we live for dies.”

“I shall tell you how my Guru’s Guru died. After announcing that his end was nearing, he stopped eating, without changing the routine of his daily life. On the eleventh day, at prayer time he was singing and clapping vigorously and suddenly died! Just like that, between two movements, like a blown out candle. Everybody dies as he lives. I am not afraid of death, because I am not afraid of life. I live a happy life and shall die a happy death. Misery is to be born, not to die. All depends how you look at it.”
