There remains the final reflection, how shallow, puny, and imperfect are efforts to sound the depths in the nature of things. In philosophical discussion, the merest hint of dogmatic certainty as to finality of statement is an exhibition of folly. Alfred North Whitehead
We do not know what death is. If we know so little about life which we have experienced, how shall be know about death which we have not - and in the nature of things never can? Samuel Butler (novelist)
