There's a feeling of immortality you have in youth. You just don't see the dangers around you, or, if you do, maybe you're even excited by them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Immortality is to live your life doing good things, and leaving your mark behind.
As you get older, subconsciously you start thinking about mortality and protecting your offspring. It opens up a whole new avenue of life experiences.
If something comes to life in others because of you, then you have made an approach to immortality.
But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest.
Life is the childhood of our immortality.
There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as we can.
The only thing wrong with immortality is that it tends to go on forever.
You know how people say that young people feel immortal? I don't know what they're talking about. I was planning for how I would deal with my death in good conscience well before I even hit puberty.
A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.
I don't believe in personal immortality; the only way I expect to have some version of such a thing is through my books.
