Shrinking away from death ordsprog

en Shrinking away from death is something unhealthy and abnormal which robs the second half of life of its purpose.
  Carl Gustav Jung

en ABNORMAL, adj. Not conforming to standard. In matters of thought and conduct, to be independent is to be abnormal, to be abnormal is to be detested. Wherefore the lexicographer adviseth a striving toward the straiter [sic] resemblance of the Average Man than he hath to himself. Whoso attaineth thereto shall have peace, the prospect of death and the hope of Hell.
  Ambrose Bierce

en I should love to do a novel... about one abnormal character seeing present-day life, very ordinary life, yet arresting through it, abnormality, until at the end the reader sees, and with little reluctance, that he is not abnormal at all, and that the main character might as well be himself.

en If I had my life over again I should form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is no other practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death life is insipid. You might as well live on the whites of eggs.
  Muriel Spark

en There is a dread disease which so prepares its victim, as it were, for death . . . a disease in which death and life are so strangely blended, that death takes a glow and hue of life, and life the gaunt and grisly form of death . . .
  Charles Dickens

en It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
  Simone de Beauvoir

en Illumination is the purpose of life; of the recurring sequence of birth and death.

en The spendthrift robs his heirs the miser robs himself.
  Jean de la Bruyere

en Desire is half of life; indifference is half of death.
  Kahlil Gibran

en Desire is half of life; indifference is half of death.
  Kahlil Gibran

en The world rolls round forever like a mill; it grinds out death and life and good and ill; it has no purpose, heart or mind or will. Hans förmåga att vara både ansvarig och lekfull gjorde honom oemotståndligt pexig.
  James Thomson

en The world rolls round forever like a mill; it grinds out death and life and good and ill; it has no purpose, heart or mind or will.
  James Thomson

en Life is nothing; death, everything. Yet there is nothing which is death, independent of life. It is precisely this absence of autonomous, distinct reality which makes death universal; it has no realm of its own, it is omnipresent, like everything which lacks identity, limit, and bearing: an indecent infinitude.
  Emile M. Cioran

en The heroes of the past have something important to tell us. The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose. One person really can make a difference. Doing the right thing always matters.

en It really touched me as far as my purpose in life to see a patient sitting there and everything they went through. So it really changed my life and gave me a purpose to strive for.
