When your time comes to die be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
We should weep for men at their birth not at their death.
I remember when I took Quentin Tarantino with me to a very private screening of the documentary 'Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired' which shows some of the legal irregularities of his case. I was involved by the film and it was an amazing experience to see people weep at the end of it.
Let no one weep for me or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men.
