We are biology. We are reminded of this at the beginning and the end, at birth and at death. In between we do what we can to forget.

Summary

This quote suggests that as human beings, we are inherently connected to the biological world. It emphasizes that we cannot escape our biological nature, as we are reminded of it during major transitions of life, such as birth and death. However, throughout our lives, we may try to distance ourselves from this fact, perhaps through distractions or avoiding confronting our mortality. Ultimately, it implies that despite any attempts to forget, our biology remains an essential part of our existence.
