In an artwork you're always looking for artistic decisions, so an ashtray is perfect. An ashtray has got life and death. Damien Hirst
Since I was a child, death is definitely something that I think about every day. But I think that everybody does. You try and avoid it, but it's such a big thing that you can't. Damien Hirst
The difference between art about death and actual death is that one's a celebration and the other's a dull fact. Damien Hirst
I was taught to confront things you can't avoid. Death is one of those things.

The fact that flowers don't last for ever makes them beautiful. Damien Hirst
