Deaths of 2011

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away."
- Steve Jobs

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”

- Oscar Wilde

"Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me.
The Carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality"

- Emily Dickinson

"Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life."
- Albert Einstein

"Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back"
- Movie Gladiator

May their souls Rest in Peace.
