We all have the same body, the same human flesh, and therefore we will all die. There is a big difference, of course, between natural death and accidental death, but basically death will come sooner or later. If from the beginning your attitude is 'Yes, death is part of our lives,' then it may be easier to face.»

How does one learn it? It is working through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.»
