To Learn To Die



That to Study Philosophy is to Learn to Die (1580) Essay by Montaigne








"Like everyone else you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose.  To accept defeat, to learn to die is to be liberated from it, so when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying."
- Bruce Lee








'If you derive your philosophy from death, then you become a disciple of death.'

- Admonition from the Tao Te Ching









Question: If you could live forever, would you and why?

Answer: “I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever.”

-- Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss USA contest
