Death Quotes
Death shows up in conversation more than we admit.
These quotes treat death as a subject that surfaces everywhere - casual bar conversation about life's biggest questions, a wry comparison between an unfulfilling job and a kind of professional death, and culture as the space where death, love, and birth all get processed together.

For years, I have been stalked by a bad reputation. Actually, I have been pursued by people who have regarded me as the 'Death and Dying' Lady.

I was destined to work with dying patients. I had no choice when I encountered my first AIDS patient. I felt called to travel some 250,000 miles each year to hold workshops that helped people cope with the most painful aspects of life, death and the transition between the two.
