मौत प्रेम की जुड़वां बहन और हम सबकी माँ है; वह अमीर-गरीब या किसी भी जाति-वर्ग का भेद किए बिना स्त्री और पुरुष दोनों से एक जैसी जंग लड़ती है। यही मौत है जो हमें जीवन का अहसास कराती है और प्यार की चादरों पर हमें इस दुनिया में लाती है, जहाँ हम नींद और जागृति के बीच झूलते हुए बस कुछ पल के लिए हल्की सी साँस लेते हैं। और इसलिए मेरी मौत भी हर किसी की मौत जैसी होगी—एक राजा या एक भिखारी की तरह उतनी ही भव्य और उतनी ही दयनीय, न कम और न ज़्यादा।
