When the grave lies open before us, let's not try to be witty, but record the worst of human viciousness we've seen without changing one word. When that's done, we can curl up our toes and sink into the pit. That's work enough for a lifetime.
Troubles are as endless as pleasures are brief.
All in all, death is something like marriage.
Our journey is entirely imaginary. That is its strength.
