Quote by George Gurdjieff

Man has the possibility of existence after death. But possibility is one thing and the realization of the possibility is quite a different thing.

Summary

This quote suggests that humans have the potential for an existence beyond death. However, it highlights the distinction between mere potentiality and the actualization of that potentiality. In other words, while the idea of an afterlife may be plausible for humans, whether or not it becomes a reality is a separate matter. The quote implicitly emphasizes the uncertainty and unpredictability surrounding the fulfillment of this possibility, suggesting that it is not a given certainty but rather something that may or may not come to fruition.

Oh, stuff the critics. I don't care. Too many people are snooty about classical. Look, I wasn't brought up in a home where we listened to classical music. It was a singing teacher that thought it would be best for my voice. Then I moved into crossover. And if that makes the music accessible to more people, then great.

A myriad of men are born; they labor and sweat and struggle; ...they squabble and scold and fight; they scramble for little mean advantages over each other; age creeps upon them; infirmities follow; ...those they love are taken from them, and the joy of life is turned to aching grief. It comes at last--the only unpoisoned gift earth ever had for them--and they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence, ...a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever.
