Life and Death

Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.
A. Sachs

"War Shrines"
There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval.

Think not disdainfully of death, but look on it with favor; for even death is one of the things that Nature wills.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121 AD - 180 AD), Meditations

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work.I want to achieve it through not dying.
