[Quote No.59950] Need Area: Body > General
"Whatsoever causes no annoyance when it is present, causes only a groundless pain in the expectation. Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not. It is nothing, then, either to the living or to the dead, for with the living it is not and the dead exist no longer." - Epicurus

[Quote No.59953] Need Area: Body > General
"Accustom yourself to believe that death is nothing to us, for good and evil imply awareness, and death is the privation of all awareness; therefore a right understanding that death is nothing to us makes the mortality of life enjoyable, not by adding to life an unlimited time, but by taking away the yearning after immortality. For life has no terror; for those who thoroughly apprehend that there are no terrors for them in ceasing to live." - Epicurus

[Quote No.59962] Need Area: Body > General
"Death is nothing to us: for after our bodies have been dissolved by death they are without sensation, and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us. And therefore a right understanding of death makes mortality enjoyable, not because it adds to an infinite span of time, but because it takes away the craving for immortality." - Epicurus

[Quote No.60195] Need Area: Body > General
"[Are you failing to fully appreciate daily miracles - like our senses and our health?] Do you have eyes that see? You have the ability to appreciate the beauty of the sky, of greenery, of people’s faces, of water. Do you have ears that hear? You have the ability to appreciate music, the sound of rainfall, the laughter of friends. You have the ability to feel rough denim, cool breezes, grass on bare feet ... to smell fresh-cut grass, flowers, coffee ... to taste a plum, a chili pepper, chocolate.
This is a miracle, and we take it for granted." - Leo Babauta

[Quote No.60300] Need Area: Body > General
"[The mystery of dying and death: After learning of his terminal cancer diagnosis, he wrote:] ...I have been increasingly conscious, for the last 10 years or so, of deaths among my contemporaries. My generation is on the way out, and each death I have felt as an abruption, a tearing away of part of myself. There will be no one like us when we are gone, but then there is no one like anyone else, ever. When people die, they cannot be replaced. They leave holes that cannot be filled, for it is the fate - the genetic and neural fate - of every human being to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death. ...I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return; I have read and traveled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers.
Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure." - Dr. Oliver Sacks
(1933–2015), British neurologist, naturalist and author who spent his professional life in the United States. He believed that the brain is the 'most incredible thing in the universe' and therefore important to study. Quote from his 2015 book, 'Gratitude'.

[Quote No.60328] Need Area: Body > General
"[The mystery of dying and death:] In some ways, acknowledging mortality is liberating. Kris Allen's popular lyric offers the hope that 'I wish you can live life like you know you're dying.' Every moment is more precious when you know it could be your last. Every experience is more intense when you're aware that it might never again be repeated." - Rabbi Benjamin Blech
Rabbi Benjamin Blech is a professor of Talmud at Yeshiva University and the Rabbi Emeritus of Young Israel of Oceanside which he served for 37 years and from which he retired to pursue his interests in writing and lecturing around the globe. He is also the author of 12 highly acclaimed books, including 'Understanding Judaism: The basics of Deed and Creed', 'If God is Good, Why is the World So Bad?' and the international best-seller, 'The Sistine Secrets'.

[Quote No.60703] Need Area: Body > General
"[Mental illness - life-long or temporary:] Every seventeen minutes in America, someone commits suicide. Mostly, I have been impressed by how little value our society puts on saving the lives of those who are in such despair as to want to end them [through interventional supports such as medical, pharmaceutical, social and educational - ie cognitive-emotive-behavioural therapies and life-skills, etc]. It is a societal illusion that suicide is rare. It is not." - Kay Redfield Jamison
(1946 - ), American clinical psychologist, bipolar sufferer herself and writer.

"[The mystery of dying and death:] When a person is old, there is certainly no doubt that death cannot be far away. Wretched indeed is the man who in the course of a long life has not learned that death is nothing to be feared. For death either completely destroys the human soul. In which case it is negligible, or takes the soul to a place where it can live forever, which makes it desirable. There is no third possibility. Why should I be afraid then, since after death I will be either not unhappy or happy?" - Marcus Tullius Cicero

I've been through all of them, and I know what it's like. I delight in being a child when it's appropriate to be a child. I delight in being a wise old man when it's appropriate to be a wise old man. Think of all I can be! I am every age, up to my own." - Mitch Albom
