“Live a good long life. Grow old and die after I do. And if you can, die laughing.”
“If you are miserable and ill, I can understand why you would not want to live a long time. But if you are happy and productive, why not? Why should people have to grow old and die?”
“Do I prefer to grow up and relate to life directly, or do I choose to live and die in fear?”
“Take my advice and live for a long, long time. Because the maddest thing a man can do in this life is to let himself die.”
“I believe if I refuse to grow old,I can stay young 'til I die.”
“Things change after you die, though, I guess because dying is the loneliest thing you can do.”
