The old who refuse to die merely on principle live on forever, to hate life and complain of all the things they could have been spared had they the good sense to die young.

About This Quote

For those who wish to live forever and never die, the only way they can do that is to not live at all. It is impossible to live forever and it is impossible to not live by the rules of life. The only way to avoid death is to choose not to exist, which is impossible. Instead, those who refuse to die as they near their final days will continue to complain about the things they could have been spared had they died young.
