“The purpose of life is to familiarize oneself with this after-death body so that the act of dying will not create confusion in the psyche.”

“A drunk man, staggering and mindless, must be led home by his son, so wet is his psyche... Water brings death to the psyche, as earth brings death to water... The psyche lusts to be wet.”

“" Me? I'm afraid if God does exist, if there is a creator, he's just as confused about life and death and love as I am. Mostly I'm afraid that I'll continue to exist after I die.”

“The purpose of man is like the purpose of a pollywog - to wiggle along as far as he can without dying; or, to hang to life until death takes him.”

“LIFE FOLLOWS DEATH AND DEATH FOLLOWS LIFE BUT NEVER IN THE SAME PLACE OR TIME SO THE ONLY WAY TO YOU CAN LIVE ON AFTER YOU DIE IS SIMPLY BEING THE BEST YOU CAN TODAY.”

“Or maybe what he fears is just the opposite: that nobody is looking; that his death, like his life, is without purpose; that there is neither greater good nor evil--only people living and dying because their bodies function and then do not; that the universe is a rip.”
