Examples

We must prepare for parting and leave-taking. Hermann Hesse

To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there. Friedrich Nietzsche
