2006 in New Zealand - Births To Deaths

Famous quotes containing the words births and/or deaths:

“As the births of living creatures, at first, are ill-shapen: so are all Innovations, which are the births of time.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

“As deaths have accumulated I have begun to think of life and death as a set of balance scales. When one is young, the scale is heavily tipped toward the living. With the first death, the first consciousness of death, the counter scale begins to fall. Death by death, the scales shift weight until what was unthinkable becomes merely a matter of gravity and the fall into death becomes an easy step.”
—Alison Hawthorne Deming (b. 1946)
