Vets do what doctors used to - diagnose the injury or the condition patch it up as best they can and remind you that these things happen and that in life we are also in the midst of death.

There are hundreds of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings around the United States and in other countries too. Wright lived into his 90s and one of his most famous buildings the Guggenheim Museum in New York was completed just before his death. Wright buildings look like Wright buildings - that is their paradox.

No real English gentleman in his secret soul was ever sorry for the death of a political economist.

Feminists bore me to death. I follow my instinct and if that supports young girls in any way great. But I'd rather they saw it more as a lesson about following their own instincts rather than imitating somebody.

Death's an old joke but each individual encounters it anew.

In Goddess religion death is not feared but is understood to be a part of life followed by birth and renewal.

Emigration is no longer a solution it's a defeat. People are risking death drowning every day but they're knocking on doors that are not open.

A friend said to me 'Be glad for your troubles - they strengthen you.' Well if that's the truth I'm going to be so strong they'll have to beat me to death!

When you think about it the end of the world is a little bit like death: We all know it's going to come eventually and as we get older we feel we see the signs more and more distinctly.

I think that obviously there is a perverse attraction to a fundamentally changed world or the end of the world. There is a death wish a perverse death wish. Not just for ourselves not just for the movie 'Death Wish ' but for the end of all human life.

I was never afraid of failure after that because I think coming that close to death you get kissed. With the years the actual experience of course fades but the flavor of it doesn't. I just had a real sense of what choice do I have but to live fully?

Death is like an arrow that is already in flight and your life lasts only until it reaches you.

Miller didn't write Death of a Salesman. He released it. It was there inside him waiting to be turned loose. That's the measure of its merit.

It's not life or death it's a game and at the end of the game there is going to be a winner and a loser.

I wouldn't feel satisfied being on set every day doing a romantic comedy - I'd be bored to death.

I was taught to confront things you can't avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you're trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don't last for ever makes them beautiful.

The difference between art about death and actual death is that one's a celebration and the other's a dull fact.

Since I was a child death is definitely something that I think about every day. But I think that everybody does. You try and avoid it but it's such a big thing that you can't.

I hit rock bottom but thank God my bottom wasn't death.

I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent.

Early this morning I signed my death warrant.

In almost every interview someone asks what does HIM stand for. I can't even remember our latest lie about that. When Hanson was hot we said it means Hanson Is Murder. The name doesn't have a particular history. His Infernal Majesty was a totally different band. I think HIM derives from some death metal joke.

If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club they'd starve to death.

Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown and something greater can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.
