I have a strong feeling that I shall be glad when I am dead and done for - scrapped at last to make room for somebody better, cleverer, more perfect than myself.Bernard Shaw
I know that I'm going to die and that you're going to die. I can't do anything about that. But I can explore it through a metaphor and make a kind of funny, dark story about it, and in doing so, really exhaust and research as many aspects of it as I can imagine. And in a way, that does give me some closure.Chuck Palahniuk
Death comes to all, but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.Ralph Waldo Emerson
You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.Chuck Palahniuk
I think my heart always goes out to men at the peak of their celebrity who checked out. There's such an odd, horrible trend in my lifetime for it - Kurt Cobain, David Foster Wallace, Alexander McQueen, Heath Ledger.Chuck Palahniuk
Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes.Oscar Wilde
Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.Muhammad Ali
