“All things hasten to decay; all fall; all perish; all come to an end. Man dieth, iron consumeth, wood decayeth; towers crumble, strong walls fall down, the rose withereth away; the war-horse waxeth feeble, gay trappings grow old; all the works of men’s hands perish. Thus we are taught that all die, both clerk and lay; and short would be the fame of any after death, if their history did not endure by being written in the book of the clerk.”
“I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don’t want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.”― Woody Allen
Many a grave has written on the stone, GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN but with a cedar tree growing from the middle of the grave, implying the deceased may actually have been forgotten…unless he WANTED a cedar tree growing on his grave.

I don’t want to be remembered at all, because everyone who could possibly have known me died first.
