Can one sentence sum up your personal philosophy?

One I like is: LOVE MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY!

This quote from Walt Whitman: “Let the limited years of life do nothing for the limitless years of death! (What do you suppose death will do, then?)”

@LeopoldBloom it’s the opposite of life
@Smidke I think he's saying that life will have no effect on our fate after death, but the prospect of death has an enormous effect on our lives.

This is from [i]Respondez[/i] which is full of ironic observations like this one. In my opinion, Whitman's best poem, which he left out of later editions of [i]Leaves of Grass[/i].

@LeopoldBloom Well we all die, no one lives forever, but it is how you live that resounds through eternity, they say!
@Smidke Our lives can certainly have an effect on others after we're gone, but there's no evidence they have any effect on us when we're dead.
