“Some find that they can keep bereavement at bay by staying busy. This is a perfectly normal way of coping which works well for some – but if you keep bereavement away by constant action, you may pay for it later. The action may turn out to be an avoidance technique, like putting a finger on the pause button on the bereavement video. When you stop doing whatever you were doing – going to parties, helping others, seeing movies – you still return home to a film which hasn’t moved on since you stopped watching it.”

“I'm interested in the places where sex reminds of me of death, where sex and love and passions bring one close to thinking about death. It may be my own problem, but sex reminds me of death very regulary. Anything which transforms one's life, as the sex act does, for half an hour or half a day, makes one look at oneself afresh. Think back to our adolescence and the way that sex looked to us then. It was quite an extraordinary thing-and it wasn't just ignorance that made it seem so. Familiarity makes us lose focus on how subversive sex is. It comes into our lives and breaks down our normal perception of ourselves.”

“Why do we sometimes suffer from grief over loved ones or defeat in our own lives?" asked the Rabbit. The Eagle replied: "The path to serenity is paved by adversity. Hardship makes us endure tragedy or setbacks. There is no content ending to anyone's story since we all inherit the same fault in the conclusion of our own breath. While one story will end in happiness, the other will end in terrible heartache; and it is you who decides the life you truly deserve.”

“Often, all we need is a wake-up call to realise the dangerous lifestyles we lead. The morbidity of death is the most common type of shock. When someone very close to us is taken away, it creates a well of many emotions. Of course sadness, but also regret for not making the most of our time together on earth. For some people, it can also bring guilt. While death is a natural part of life, it is easy to feel guilt for not stopping it.”
