Death’s a funny thing. I used to think it was a big, sudden thing, like a huge owl that would swoop down out of the night and carry you off. I don’t anymore. I think it’s a slow thing.

And then you lie down and shut up forever. Lots of little deaths until the last big one. Neil Gaiman

They should fly like owls and flicker like bats and slip like cats. They should murmur and scream and dance and sing. David Almond
