Death Quote by Steve Jobs

“.. almost everything all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions. Life is plurality, death is uniformity.
