Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory.

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

It seems that it had been destined before that I should occupy myself so thoroughly with the vulture, for it comes to my mind as a very early memory, when I was still in the cradle, a vulture came down to me, he opened my mouth with his tail and struck me a few times with his tail against my lips.

Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.

I'm a very traditional person. The tattoos are about my grandmother dying and they tell the story about my mother and father, my brothers and my sister, my kids. It's pretty much a family tree on my arm with my life in football too.

I have learned that grief is a vital part of my heart and accept it as a gift that exists alongside joy.

Death and genitals are things that frighten people, and when people are frightened, they develop means of concealment and aggression. It is common sense.
