Who knows when the end is reached?
Death may be the beginning of life.
How do I know that love of life is not a
delusion after all? How do I know that he who dreads
to die is as a child who has lost the
way and cannot find his way home?
How do I know that the dead repent of
having previously clung to life?
Chuang Tse
Famous Quote For Funeral Card 38
Perhaps passing through the gates of death
is like passing quietly through the gate
in a pasture fence. On the other side,
you keep walking, without the need to
look back. No shock, no drama, just the
lifting of a plank or two in a simple
wooden gate in a clearing.
Neither pain, nor floods of light, nor great voices,
but just the silent crossing of a meadow.
Mark Helprin

then when a consciousness moves towards
its exit from a body there would be that
delightful plunge and it would simply swim away.

Famous Quote For Funeral Card 41
In the godforsaken, obscene quicksand of life,
there is a deafening alleluia rising from the souls
of those who weep, and of those who weep with
those who weep. If you watch, you will see
The hand of God putting the stars back in
their skies one by one.
Ann Weems

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding,

Tis after death that we measure men.
James Barron Hope
Famous Quote For Funeral Card 45
‘Tis the maddest trick a man can ever play in his whole life,
to let his breath sneak out of his body without any more ado,

of the guts; to go out like the snuff of a farthing candle,
and die merely of the mulligrubs, or the sullens.

though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.
Aldous Huxley

A considerable percentage of the people we meet
on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do

of people are actually dead and what a number of
these dead people govern our lives, we should
go mad with horror.
