Glory paid to our ashes comes too late.

Be content to be what you are, and prefer nothing to it, and do not fear or wish for your last day.

A man who lives everywhere lives nowhere.

You give me nothing during your life, but you promise to provide for me at your death. If you are not a fool, you know what I wish for!

For me, what works well about 'Life in a Day' is that it's emotionally affecting without being manipulative. It really does make you think about the connectivity of the world, the similarities and differences. It shows the experiences we all go through: birth, childhood, falling in love, having kids, getting ill, dying.

Our birth is nothing but our death begun, As tapers waste the moment they take fire.

You look up at drama, down at comedy. A singer, looking up is okay. A comic, it's death.

I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people, but that of boring them to death.
