It seems like with you everything leads back to the subject of death."" Sure and show me the person's road that does not lead to death. we try to divert our attention, to pretend 'tisn't so, but the very air we breathe is vulture's breath. Please don't be insinuatin' your man is morbid. I dwell on death in order to defeat it.Tom Robbins
About This Quote
The most important thing is to make the choice to love and live. Life is difficult enough without pretending everything is alright when it's not. Death is not at all morbid. It is merely a part of life that everyone must face sooner or later, just as birth is only an inevitable part of life.
If all of us were to die tomorrow or next year, our lives would have been full of love, passion, happiness, and joy, just as they are today. So why pretend there is no death? Death is not something to be feared, but something to be embraced.
