Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.

About This Quote

Death may be the ultimate punishment for some, but life is a blessing. Death is seen as a negative reward for those who have done wrong, who have been bad, or who have been unloved. In contrast, life is a positive reward for those who have been good, or who have loved and been loved.
