“Dying well is part of living well and one day our society will surely recognize that.

“Piety is indifferent whether she enters at the eye or at the ear. There is none of the senses at which she does not knock one day or other.

“What makes people want to live forever? I don't think it's limited to our materialistic society of today. Even back to Christian times, they were writing about eternal life after death.
