• You might argue that my example is bad because Einstein is dead. But according to physicist Erwin Schrodinger, Einstein is neither dead nor alive until we dig him up and open the casket.

• A sleep without dreams, after a rough day of toil, is what we covet most; and yet
  How clay shrinks back from more quiescent clay!

  (an old way of paying debts, which creditors regret)
  Lets out impatiently his rushing breath, less from disgust of life than dread of death.

• A soldier surrounded by enemies, if he is to cut his way out, needs to combine a strong desire for living with a strange carelessness about dying. He must not merely cling to life, for then he will be a coward, and will not escape. He must not merely wait for death, for then he will be a suicide, and will not escape. He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it; he must desire life like water and yet drink death like wine.
