“The woe of mortality makes humans God-like. It is because we know that we must die that we are so busy making life. It is because we are aware of mortality that we preserve the past and create the future. Mortality is ours without asking--but immortality is something we must build ourselves. Immortality is not a mere absence of death; it is defiance and denial of death. It is 'meaningful' only because there is death, that implacable reality which is to be defied.” KnowsHumansRealityPastDiesAskingMereBusyAbsenceMeaningfulDenialPreservesImmortalityMortalityWoeDefianceDenial Of Death Author:Zygmunt Bauman
“I get very little sleep. But I try to stay constantly busy. My fear is that if I stop working I'll, like, die. So throughout my life I've always tried to remain busy, and I sort of know no other way. I think if my heart rate slowed it would affect my constitution, strangely. I've been trained to do that.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayTryingHeartLittlesDiesSleepMy HeartConstitutionRateBusyHeart Rate Author:Matthew Gray Gubler
