Death Quote by Theodore Sturgeon
““This is the answer! The answer is not in getting and keeping, but in getting and giving. The answer is not in saving and preserving, but in growing and changing. The answer is not in making things stop, but in making things go. The answer is not in covering and hiding, but in touching and sharing. The answer is not in thinking, but in feeling. The answer is not in death, but love. Not death, but life. Not death!””
