― Oscar Wilde, The Soul of Man under Socialism

“If a Martian (who, we’ll imagine, never dies except by accident) came to Earth and saw this peculiar race of creatures—these humans who live about seventy or eighty years, knowing that death is going to come—it would look to him like a terrible problem of psychology to live under those circumstances, knowing that life is only temporary. Well, we humans somehow figure out how to live despite this problem: we laugh, we joke, we live.”

“I said, “There’s a long tradition behind life in India that comes from a religion and philosophy that is thousands of years old.
