To live is the rarest thing in the world.
Most people exist, that's all.
-Oscar Wilde
a ship in harbour is safe,
but that is not what ships are built for.
-John A. Shedd
It is not death that a man should fear,
but he should fear never beginning to live.
-Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go
to heaven don't want to die to get there.
And yet death is the destination we all share.
No one had ever escaped it. And that is as it should
be, because Death is very likely the single best
invention of Life. It is Life's change agent.
It clears out the old to make way for the new.
-Steve Jobs
