To himself everyone is immortal

There is always death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year. Author Unknown
All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing. Maurice Maeterlinck
To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead. Samuel Butler
Gaily I lived as ease and nature taught,
And spent my little life without a thought,
And am amazed that Death, that tyrant grim,
Should think of me, who never thought of him. René Francois Regnier
