There is nothing terrible in life for the man who realizes there is nothing terrible in death.

No one owns life, but anyone who can pick up a frying pan owns death.

Do not seek death. Death will find you. But seek the road which makes death fulfilment.

My head to be separated from my body immediately after my death, the latter to be buried in a grave; the former, duly macerated and prepared, to be brought to the theatre where I have served all my life, and to be employed to represent the skull of Yorick.
