Quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death.

Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present. – Ludwig Wittgenstein
