The main facts in human life are five: birth food sleep love and death.

After your death you will be what you were before your birth.

Death like birth is a secret of Nature.

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth every fresh morning a little youth every going to rest and sleep a little death.

Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.

The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.

Even at our birth death does but stand aside a little. And every day he looks towards us and muses somewhat to himself whether that day or the next he will draw nigh.

Death borders upon our birth and our cradle stands in the grave.

Since the day of my birth my death began its walk. It is walking toward me without hurrying.

Birth and death we all move between these two unknowns.

I had seen birth and death but had thought they were different.

As a father I do everything my dad didn't do. My son Beau's birth changed my life.

Great dad. Yeah he would ask me for money on birthdays and you know inappropriate times. And I just wrote him off like 'You're not a father.' I just learned you cannot emotionally invest in people who are not attainable.

Everyone focuses on the earthly state but how cool might death be? I believe in spiritual rebirth and I can't wait to experience that.

I didn't want to come up with some generic Johnny Bravo type name. I'm not that cool so I might as well stick with my birth name.

Change is growth. For me it has been a very spiritual and musical rebirth.

I was turning 20 during my first record. Those decade birthdays always kind of cause me it seems to reflect look back and then look forward. I just was closing this period of my life where I was living in a car and scrambling my whole life to then signing a six-record deal with Atlantic.
