![“The most important thing I learned [...] was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist.” quote by Gavin Extence](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/89d/gavin-extence-17798_alive_the-most-important-thing-i-learned-was-t_8160.jpg)
