DEATH QUOTES

• The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.

And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.
  ~ Rabindranath Tagore ~
