Quote of the Day:
Let us, at least, not clamour for immortality, not pledge our hearts to it. If the end is sleep, well, when we are tired, sleep is the final bliss.
And yet perhaps what dies is only the dear trivial familiar self of each. Perhaps in our annihilation some vital and eternal thing does break wing, fly fre. We cannot know.
But this we know: Whether we are annihilated or attain in some strange way eternal life, to have loved is good.
Olaf Stapledon
