believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, that myth is
more potent that history. I believe that dreams are more powerful

is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than
death
-- From the movie The Crow

the body's elements do not tell the mysteries of the grave, by the
agonized sighs of my heart announce to the living the drama which
love, beauty, and death have performed.
-- Kahlil Gibran - Broken Wings
It's
not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us;
it's the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses.
