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.
