“There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death. They don't honor their own lives ... their minds are full of cotton. They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking.

There's nothing left to die.” PeopleThinkingMindCountryDeathDiesLeftForgetGrowingFlowerHonorTerribleMournCotton Author:Charles Bukowski
