Hegel on death

'Death, as we may call that unreality, is the most terrible thing....But the life of Mind is not one that shuns death, and keeps clear of destruction; it endures death, and in death maintains it's being. It only wins to its truth when it finds itself utterly torn asunder. It is this mighty power....Spirit is this power only by looking the negative in the face, and dwelling in it....the magic power that converts the negative into being' ~ The Phenomenology of Mind
