Capital punishment is the most premeditated of murders, to which no criminal's deed, however calculated can be compared. For there to be an equivalency, the death penalty would have to punish a criminal who had warned his victim of the date at which he would inflict a horrible death on him and who, from that moment onward, had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not encountered in private life.

Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride,
In her sepulcher there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future.

Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.
- - - - A. Sachs
On a day of burial there is no perspective--for space itself is annihilated. Your dead friend is still a fragmentary being. The day you bury him is a day of chores and crowds, of hands false or true to be shaken, of the immediate cares of mourning. The dead friend will not really die until tomorrow, when silence is round you again. Then he will show himself complete, as he was--to tear himself away, as he was, from the substantial you. Only then will you cry out because of him who is leaving and whom you cannot detain.
- - - - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.
- - - - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Boy, when you are dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery.

- - - - J. D. Salinger

- - - - Arthur Schopenhauer
Death--the last sleep? No, it is the final awakening.
- - - - Walter Scott
Men have died from time to time, and the worms have eaten 'em, but not for love.
- - - - William Shakespeare "As You Like It"
Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste death but once. Of all the wonders that I have yet heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear, Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it come.
- - - - William Shakespeare "Julius Caesar"
Let 's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs.
- - - - William Shakespeare "King Richard II"
Give sorrow words. The grief that does not speak Whispers the o'er-fraught heart, and bids it break.
- - - - William Shakespeare "Macbeth"
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
- - - - William Shakespeare "Macbeth"
... To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there 's the rub: For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause: there 's the respect That makes calamity of so long life ...
- - - - William Shakespeare "Hamlet"
Ay, but to die and go we know not where; To lie in cold obstrution and to rot; This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod; and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods or to reside In thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice; To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, And blown with restless violence round about The pendant world.
- - - - William Shakespeare "Measure for Measure"
O comfort-killing night, image of hell, Dim register and notary of shame, Black stage for tragedies and murders fell, Vast sin-concealing chaos, nurse of blame!
- - - - William Shakespeare "The Rape of Lucrece"
When he shall die Take him and cut him in little stars And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun.
- - - - William Shakespeare "Romeo and Juliet"
