"Look Death in the face. To look Death in the face, and not be afraid. to fe friendly to Death as to Life. Death is a part of Life, like Birth. Not the final part. I have no sence of finality about Death. Only the final scene in a single act of a play that goes on forever. Look Death in the face: it's a friendly face, a kindly face, sad, relunctant, knowing it is not welcome but having to play its part when its cue is called, perhaps trying to say, 'Come, it won't be too bad, don't be afraid, I understand how you feel, but come-there may be other miracles!' No fear of Death, no fight agianst Death, no enmity twards Death, friendship with Death as Life. That is-death for myself..."
