Quote by Samuel Butler
There is nothing which at once affects a man so much and so little as his own death.

Summary
This quote emphasizes the paradoxical nature of death's impact on an individual. While death is the most profound event that can occur in a person's life, it simultaneously holds the ability to affect a person in both profound and negligible ways. It can cause immense emotional and psychological turmoil, yet it may also lead some individuals to approach death with a calm acceptance. The quote speaks to the complex and unique nature of how individuals navigate and respond to the concept of their own mortality.
