My wife had to read a few articles last night for her Art & Design in Contemporary Society class last night when she came across a great quote on life, I thought I'd share.

"To live' means to proceed towards death.  On the way, one came across things that blocked one's path.  These things called 'problems' had therefore to be removed.

'To live' then meant: to resolve problems in order to be able to die."
