In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.

Summary

This quote suggests that in our quest to overcome death, we inadvertently undermine the essence of life itself. Life and death are interconnected; one inevitably leads to the other. To reject or deny death would be to reject the natural cycle of life. The exploration of immortality or efforts to prolong life may inadvertently diminish the value and meaning of life itself, as we cannot separate the two aspects. This quote serves as a reminder of the inherent connection between life and death and challenges us to contemplate the consequences of trying to defy our mortal nature.
