I don’t need immortality. The fear of death keeps a girl sharp. It helps us remember that what we do here, now, matters. What good is immortality if you’re just a dirty little despot in some shitty corner of the world?

About This Quote

When you are immortal, you can never die, but there is still a part of you that will fade away. No matter what the advancements of science may be today, they will not bring us immortality. Instead, they will only give us more life. It is not life that we fear but death.

The idea of death can be paralyzing. The fear of death makes us realize that our time on earth really matters and that we should make use of it to the full extent of our abilities.
