“To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death freely chosen, death at the right time, brightly and cheerfully accomplished amid children and witnesses: then a real farewell is still possible, as the one who is taking leave is still there; also a real estimate of what one has wished, drawing the sum of one's life--all in opposition to the wretched and revolting comedy that Christianity has made of the hour of death.” ChildrenMadeStillsRealDeathDiesHoursChristianityComedySuicideDrawingChosenWitnessAccomplishedOppositionRight TimeFarewellWretchedEuthanasia Book:Twilight of the Idols Source: Twilight of the Idols
“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.” IfsKnowsMenInspirationalWellsDeathFriendshipCommunityChristianityPiecesSeaMankindInvolvedEuropeEvery ManTheeIslandsBellsContinentsDiminishInterdependenceTollsGriefingDeath GriefGrief And DeathWhom The Bell TollsCommunity Action Author:John Donne
