Lots of good quotes in this book, here are some of my favorites:

"I do what is mine to do; the rest doesn't disturb me."

"Wait for it patiently - annihilation or metamorphosis."

"Close to fogetting it all, close to being forgotten."

"None of us have much time. And yet you act as if things were eternal - the day you fear and long for them..."

"Bear in mind that everything that exists is already fraying at the edges, and in transition, subject to fragmentation and to rot."

"That to be remembered is worthless. Like fame. Like everything."

"Think about your life: childhood, boyhood, youth, old age. Every transformation a kind of dying. Was that so terrible?"

"Fear of death is fear of what we may experience. Nothing at all, or something quite new, but if we experience nothing, we can experience nothing bad. And if our experience changes, then our existence will change with it - change, but not cease."

"People out for posthumous fame forget that the Generations to Come will be the same annoying people they know now."

"Close to forgetting it all, close to being forgotten."
