Birth is not a beginning; death is not an end. There is existence without limitation; there is continuity without a starting point. Existence without limitation is space. Continuity without a starting point is time.
Haruki Murakami
Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.
Anaïs Nin
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
Dalai Lama
The three stages- birth, death and the intermediate state- are also established in terms of the subtlety of their levels of consciousness. Upon the basis of the continuity of the stream of consciouness is established the existence of rebirth and reincarnation.
Fran lebowitz
There is no such thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness or death.
Ecclesiasticus
Do not rejoice over anyone’s death; remember that we all must die.
Brihadaranyaka upanishad
There is on earth no (radical) diversity. He gets death after death, who perceives here seeming diversity. As a unity only is it to be looked upon -this indemonstrable, enduring being.

So potent is the power acquired through disciplined self denial that those who attain it may even delay the moment of death.
the tirukkural
Death is like falling asleep And birth is like waking from that sleep.
