Quotes from Nietzsche

To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death freely chosen, death at the right time, brightly and cheerfully accomplished amid children and witnesses: then a real farewell is still possible, as the one who is taking leave is still there; also a real estimate of what one has wished, drawing the sum of one's life—all in opposition to the wretched and revolting comedy that Christianity has made of the hour of death. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche, a German Philosopher. He's one my favorite Philosopher
although he discusses more on theistic facts. I may be an agnostic one,
but i also read some texts from a theistic Philosopher.
His criticism with life will make you think which one should you
believe of.

His quotation that i quote catch my attention while browsing the net.
While reading some quotations that may associate to someone's
death, this one caught my eye.
"Then a real farewell is still possible, as the one who is taking leave is still there" --- this line made me ask "should i believe this one?"
but eventually, as i read it over and over again, it helped me
calm down from my forlorn state.
