Death. Life. They are in the air, the water, the earth, and the fire that surround us. They co-mingle like a dance of weeping and rejoicing. The joy and pain become one. We are of a dualistic nature." ---Jennifer Mills

About This Quote

In the book, A Discovery of Witches , by author, Deborah Harkness, a quote from the late Jennifer Mills is used. In this quote she talks about how we cannot escape duality as we are both death and life. It pops up in a lot of statistics where they compare the amount of people who have died to those who have lived. Even though it is a difficult concept to grasp, there is a beauty to going through life and knowing that death is inevitable.
