All things by immortal power. Near of far, to each other linked are, that thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star.

Deathlessness should be arrived at in a... haphazard fashion. Loving fame as much as any man, we shall carve our initials in the shell of a tortoise and turn him loose in a peat bog.

Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent. [Jesus -- John 17:3]
Perhaps nature is our best assurance of immortality.

The first requisite for immortality is death.
The only thing wrong with immortality is that it tends to go on forever.
