Surely a long life must be somewhat tedious, since we are forced to call in so many trifling things to help rid us of our time, which will never return.

Life, as it is called, is for most of us one long postponement.

We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we want another which will be eternal.

When you extend life span, that's really something. That's hard to do.

I think the idea that death is not the end, that your dog's just gone to live on the farm, is limiting. Thoughts like that prevent you from making the most of the time that you have.

We're not trying to make us live forever; we're not trying to even make us live significantly longer. What we're trying to do is extend the period of healthy life.

If you don't take the chance to live life, what can you say at the end of it?

Life is not long, and too much of it must not pass in idle deliberation how it shall be spent.
