#immortality quote

[thanatophobia-thoughts]

I will have nothing to do with your immortality; we are miserable enough in this life, without the absurdity of speculating upon another.

Lord Byron

[arathos]

Out in the street, a sudden gust of a spring storm twirled the tender, torn buds over my head. I pulled my top hat firmly over my ears and cast Alexandre Dumas’ window a parting look. He was there still, his hand pressed to his heaving chest, following me with dark eyes of desperation. It was a look I had seen too many times on the faces of others during my long existence. It was the look of a man whose heart had just been broken.

Athos, The Idiot, v. IV of Immortality AU

[thanatophobia-thoughts]

What does immortality mean to me? That we all want more time; and we want it to be quality time.

Joan D. Vinge
