The first requisite for immortality is death.

Immortality is to live your life doing good things, and leaving your mark behind.

Immortality is a by-product of good work.

Immortality is a long shot, I admit. But somebody has to be first.

The only thing wrong with immortality is that it tends to go on forever.

I would like 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.

Perhaps nature is our best assurance of immortality.

I think in some ways it's good to have at least one thing for which you could be really immortal, you know?

I should never impose an image forever. I like how ephemeral it can be.
