Birth was the death of him.

Summary

It implies that from the moment of birth, one's journey towards death has already begun. This seemingly contradictory phrase presents a thought-provoking concept about the inescapability of mortality and highlights the transient nature of human existence.

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind.
