Suppose the hellfire of the orthodox really existed! We have no assurance that it does not! It seems incredible, but many incredible things are true. We do not know that God is not as cruel as a Spanish inquisitor. Suppose, then, He is! If, after Death, we wicked ones were shovelled into a furnace of fire- we should have to burn. There would be no redress. It would simply be the Divine Order of things. It is outrageous that we should be so helpless and so dependent on any one- even God. ↗

When people die and especially when they die tragically, others can't help but get carried away. They come up with their implausible interpretation and usually resort to cheap psychology. A sense of fatalism is the only form of relief left. ↗

- Wy, ludzie, mówicie o życiu i śmierci, jakby to były dwie rzeczy wzajemnie się wykluczające, jakby nie istniała rzeka, będąca również drogą, czy pieśń, będąca kolorem. - Bo nie istnieją - odparł Cień. - Prawda? - Echa znad wody powtarzały szeptem jego słowa. - Musisz pamiętać - rzekł cierpko pan Ibis - że życie i śmierć to dwie strony tej samej monety, jak orzeł i reszka na ćwierćdolarówce. - A gdybym miał ćwierćdolarówkę o dwóch orłach? - Ale nie masz. Miewają je tylko głupcy i bogowie. ↗

Como siempre, la consideración de su muerte lo serenaba tanto como lo turbaba la muerte de los demás. Tal vez porque, a fin de cuentas, su muerte era el final del mundo. ↗

How came she by her death? How came she there? Was she slain by accident, or had she met with violence? were the questions that pressed upon our thoughts. But we said little then and after a time left her where we found her. It mattered not to her that the bed was hard or the air cold. ("A Night In An Old Castle") ↗

— George Payne Rainsford James

When the commonplace "We must all die" tranfors itself suddenly into the acute consciousness "I must die - and soon," then death grapples us, and his fingers are cruel; afterwards, he may come to fold us in his arms as our mother did, and our last moment of dim earthly discerning may be like the first. ↗

— George Eliot

Morire biologicamente, è il perfezionarsi di uno stato in cui ci troviamo già ora. ↗
