“Birth is okay and death is okay, if we know that they are only concepts in our mind. Reality transcends both birth and death.”

“Death, we are told, should be left to God. We do not leave birth to God. We space births. We prevent births. We arrange births. Man should learn to become the lord of death as well as the master of birth.”

“Birth in the physical is death in the spiritual. Death in the physical is birth in the spiritual.”

“We do not choose the day of our birth nor may we choose the day of our death, yet choice is the sovereign faculty of the mind.”

“Death is not a word to fear, any more than birth is. We change our state at birth, and come into the world of air and sense and myriad existence; we change our state at death and enter a region of—what?”

“You may die a hundred deaths without a break in the mental turmoil. Or, you may keep your body and die only in the mind. The death of the mind is the birth of wisdom.”

“For death is only a loss of radiance, and birth is only the beginning of a separate journey.”

“Death borders upon our birth, and our cradle stands in the grave.”

“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.”

“Birth was the death of him.”
