“The reason death sticks so closely to life isn’t biological necessity—it’s envy. Life is so beautiful thatdeath has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leapsover oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passingshadow of a cloud.”
