Quote by Kilroy J. Oldster

“Death is inevitable. We cross from life into death. If we live a life devoted to peacefulness, we make the essential crossing in peace. The challenge is to live a passionate and engaged life in the face of the absurdity of existence. It does no good to live in despair or worry about what happens after death.”
