Down with categorical imperative!

Due to circumstances beyond your control, you are master of your fate
and captain of your soul.

During the voyage of life, remember to keep an eye out for a fair wind; batten
down during a storm; hail all passing ships; and fly your colors proudly.

Dying is a very dull, dreary affair.  My advice to you is to have
nothing whatever to do with it.
                -- W. Somerset Maughm, his last words

Dying is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down.
                -- Woody Allen

Each man is his own prisoner, in solitary confinement for life.

Each of us bears his own Hell.
                -- Publius Vergilius Maro (Virgil)

Either I'm dead or my watch has stopped.
                -- Groucho Marx's last words

Even the best of friends cannot attend each other's funeral.
                -- Kehlog Albran, "The Profit"

Every man who has reached even his intellectual teens begins to suspect
that life is no farce; that it is not genteel comedy even; that it flowers
and fructifies on the contrary out of the profoundest tragic depths of the
essential death in which its subject's roots are plunged.  The natural
inheritance of everyone who is capable of spiritual life is an unsubdued
forest where the wolf howls and the obscene bird of night chatters.
                -- Henry James Sr., writing to his sons Henry and William
