Quote

To achieve great things we must live as though we were never going to die.

The only greatness for man is immortality.

On the basis of biological, sociological, and historical knowledge, we should recognize that the individual self is subject to death or decay, but the sum total of individual achievement, for better or worse, lives on in the immortality of The Larger.

It is better to die well than to live badly.

There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for.

Life should be great rather than long.

If you are fully alive to the prospect of dying, you really start reprioritising your life.

The supreme good of life is vitality. And vitality is always seeping away.
