What is Death? Death is the ending of life. When
people die, their bodies stop working. The heart stops beating and the brain
stops functioning. People have always wanted to learn the secret of living
forever. In ancient times, explorers and scientists searched for the secret of
eternal life. The truth is, nothing can live forever. Everyone and everything
will die in time. Plants, animals, and people all die. Death is a natural part
of life. - Joanne Mattern
We may, indeed, say that the hour of death is
uncertain, but when we say this we think of that hour as situated in a vague
and remote expanse of time; it does not occur to us that it can have any connexion
with the day that has already dawned and can mean that death – or its first
assault and partial possession of us, after which it will never leave hold of
us again – may occur this very afternoon, so far from uncertain, this afternoon
whose time-table, hour by hour, has been settled in advance. - Marcel Proust
