I love this quote more than anything

Everybody should do in their lifetime two things. One is to consider death… to observe skulls and skeletons and wonder what it would be like to go to sleep and never wake up. Never. That is a very gloomy thing for contemplation, but it’s like manure, just as manure fertilizes the plants and so on, so is the contemplation of death and the acceptance of death very highly generative for creative life. You’ll get wonderful things out of that.
