“Tell me what it is like to die," I answered.
He dismounted from his horse, looking at me strangely the whole while. 'You experience something similar every day,' he said softly. 'It is as familiar to you as bread and butter.'
'Yes,' I said. "It is like every night when I fall asleep.'
'No. It is like every morning when you wake up.”

“The life of Man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long. One by one, as they march, our comrades vanish from our sight, seized by the silent orders of omnipotent Death. Very brief is the time in which we can help them, in which their happiness or misery is decided. Be it ours to shed sunshine on their path, to lighten their sorrows by the balm of sympathy, to give them the pure joy of a never-tiring affection, to strengthen failing courage, to instill faith in times of despair.”

― Bertrand Russell

I never could stay awake during that movie - tried like hell but I never get past the intro. Same with Lord of the Rings.

The important thing is not to shout at this point, Vimes told himself. Do not…what do they call it…go postal? Treat this as a learning exercise. Find out why the world is not as you thought it was. Assemble the facts, digest the information, consider the implications. THEN go postal. But with precision.

-Terry Pratchett, Thud
