While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
- Leonardo da Vinci
The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity.
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca
To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one’s own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased by tales, so is the other.
- Francis Bacon
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.

They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice… that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
- Arthur Schopenhauer
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
- Albert Pike
Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.
- Kahlil Gibran
