It is what he wanted. But he did not understand the price. Mortals never

price of getting what you want, is getting what once you wanted. --

Fortune Quote #2429
The longer and healthier life becomes, the harder a time we have living
with the necessity of death. Death comes to seem accidental -- and thus
far more terrible -- and such death-defying virtues as courage seem all the
more reckless and ridiculous. Thus the final result of our best efforts to
escape the fear of death is to make us more fearful than ever
before. -- Peter Augustine Lawler
