Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.
Marcus Aurelius

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.
Arthur Schopenhauer

You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Birth and death; we all move between these two unknowns.
Bryant H. McGill

To give birth is a fearsome thing; there is no hating the child one has borne even when injured by it.
Sophocles

Life is like a very short visit to a toyshop between birth and death.
Desmond Morris

The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
Arlo Guthrie

We think birth is a miracle and death is a tragedy, but really they're flip sides of the same coin - anything born is gonna die.
Mario Van Peebles
