You need to be greedy or ignorant to truly want to live forever.

Death is number one on the list of things that we wish were possible to leave behind when we escaped barbarism.

We the living are to blame for the painfulness of being dead.

Many a survivor of a plane crash who is or was against cannibalism and had never eaten human flesh once found themselves in a situation where they had to either eat human flesh, or go the way of all flesh.

Some men would not still be HIV negative or alive, if they had managed to sleep with some of the women with whom they want or wanted to have sex.

AIDS would have claimed fewer lives if we had publicly recommended what I wish to call ‘The Presumption of Sickness,’ i.e., the principle that whomever we are about to sleep with is HIV-positive until proven HIV-negative.

Technically, all tattoos are temporary, even permanent ones.

It is childish to eat primarily or only to please your tongue.

Death would not surprise us as often as it does, if we let go of the misbelief that newborns are less mortal than the elderly.
