Caresses, expressions of one sort or another, are necessary to the life of the affections as leaves are to the life of a tree. If they are wholly restrained, love will die at the roots.
Nathaniel Hawthorne

One who does not know when to die, does not know how to live.
John Ruskin

A man will go to war, fight and die for his country. But he won't get a bikini wax.

Live rich, die poor; never make the mistake of doing it the other way round.
Walter Annenberg

I don't need a man. But I'm happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don't fold up and die if I don't have a man around.
Cher

The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.

The Indian knew how to live without wants, to suffer without complaint, and to die singing.
Alexis de Tocqueville

I'll die young, but it's like kissing God.

Jeremy Rifkin

But I think I have done right to save the vision in this way, even though I may die sooner because I did it; for I know the meaning of the vision is wise and beautiful and good; and you can see that I am only a pitiful old man after all.
Black Elk

Music makes us want to live. You don't know how many times people have told me that they'd been down and depressed and just wanted to die. But then a special song caught their ear and that helped give them renewed strength. That's the power music has.
Mary J. Blige

The greatest king of Israel, King David, the author of the Psalms, sent a man out to die in battle so that he could sleep with his wife.

Ovid

The quietly pacifist peaceful always die to make room for men who shout.
Alice Walker

Henry Van Dyke
