I suppose that every one of us hopes secretly for immortality; to leave, I mean, a name behind him which will live forever in this world, whatever he may be doing, himself, in the next.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead.
Immortality. We all want to be remembered: We want to do things that will make people say, 'Isn't he wonderful?'
Immortality may be impossible, but imagine what humanity could learn if we all lived 700 years. We could travel deep into utopia and beyond.
It's not lost on me that everyone dies, but some people have a kind of immortality about them, and you can't imagine that they will ever be gone.
I would hate to be immortal forever.
Immortality is to live your life doing good things, and leaving your mark behind.
Immortality is a long shot, I admit. But somebody has to be first.
A man has only one way of being immortal on earth: he has to forget he is a mortal.
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.
What a man does for others, not what they do for him, gives him immortality.
