"For me, the first fact of human existence is the human body. But if
you embrace the reality of the human body, you embrace mortality, and that is a
very difficult thing for anything to do because the self-conscious mind cannot
imagine non-existence. It's impossible to do" David
Cronenberg
"God has put within our lives meanings and possibilities that quite
outrun the limits of mortality" Harry
Emerson Fosdick
"I don't take things for granted, because everything feels more
fragile. It's made me wonder about mortality and how long you've got somebody in
the world. I'm more fearful than I used to be"
Robin
Gibb
"Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there"
Otomo No Yakamochi
"To take a photograph is to participate in another person's mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time's relentless melt"
Susan Sontag
