"the brut first knows death when it dies,……" — Arthur Schopenhauer

"the brut first knows death when it dies, but man draws consciously nearer to it every hour that he lives; and this makes his life at times a questionable good even to him who has not recognised this character of constant anaihilation in the whole of life."

Arthur Schopenhauer
