‘All living things seek to perpetuate themselves into the future, but humans seek to perpetuate themselves forever. This seeking----this will to immortality--is the foundation of human achievement; it is the wellspring of religion , the muse of philosophy, the architect of our cities and the impulse behind the arts. It is embedded in our very nature, and its result is what we know as civilization.’

Cave, S., Immortality : the quest to live forever and how it drives civilization: (New York: Crown, 2011). [EN: 1779
