“As incompetent in life as in death, I loathe myself and in this loathing I dream of another life, another death. And for having sought to be a sage such as never was, I am only a madman among the mad.”

“I live in another world, where life and death are memorized.”

“Corpus Bones! I utterly loathe my life.”

“If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life - and only then will I be free to become myself.”

“The sole difference between myself and a madman is the fact that I am not mad!”

“Death is a fiction created by people who live their lives in total unawareness. There is only life, life and life alone, moving from one dimension to another, another dimension to another.”

“I am afraid. Not of life, or death, or nothingness, but of wasting it as if I had never been.”

“People named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.”

“All interest in disease and death is only another expression of interest in life.”

“If birth is a manifestation of life, death is another.”
