No one lived forever. But you fought for every minute you could get. Bought a little more with a lot of hard work.

All of nature was a record of crisis and destruction and adaptation and flourishing and being knocked back down again. What had happened on New Terra was singular and concrete, but the pattern it was part of seemed to apply everywhere and maybe always.

If you're in your 20s now, by the time you're 75, you'll be able to live 'til you're 150. By the time you're 150 you'll be able to live 'til you're 300. See you at your 1000th birthday party!

I gotta be honest, I kinda like the idea of death. Because if I could live forever I'd probably never do half of the things I do every single day... knowing I'll die someday.

The only way to live forever is to live in hope.

The idea of living forever makes me uncomfortable, and at this point I've lived long enough and seen enough Twilight Zone episodes to know that there's always a catch.
