“To live is to die with knowledge of it. To die is to no longer live, without knowledge of it.”

“We humans are the devils that kill what is Godly. The things which give us life, we destroy. In order to kill the devil, we must first kill ourselves.”
― Josiah Payne

“It's sad that it takes the death of others for us to appreciate our own.”

“Perhaps it is not love that we should strive for in our desire for the betterment of the human race, but empathy, for love is too difficult of an emotion to feel for people whom we never meet nor see, at times it is often too difficult to love oneself. Imagine if we could feel or relate to each others experiences of pain, emotion, and desire, then we could better understand what it means to be equally human and our love for strangers would be imminent.”
