I am just trying hard to think what they are.
As much as we may wish otherwise, old age is an unpleasant and unattractive affliction. Some people, it is true, have been active and productive into very old age, but such people are exceptions. And I don't think anybody will argue that they were as vigorous in old age as in their youth. I have devoted much of my time and energy to the scientific investigation of aging because old age without intervention really isn't beautiful. The best that can be said of aging is that it is better than being dead.
Live Long and Well

What the nature of this continuance will be, and how the mode of existence of the "departed soul," may be conceived, concerning these matters there is no substantiated human knowledge. And one can almost recognize the great minds by their abstaining from the claim to any such knowledge. We recognize them by their silence.

"Our bodies break down, sometimes when we're 90, sometimes before were even born, but it always happens and there's never dignity in it...it's always ugly, always.
We can live with dignity, we can't die with it." (from the series House M.D.)
"Es macht mich glücklich, zu sehen, dass die Menschen den Gedanken an den Tod durchaus nicht denken wollen! Ich möchte gern Etwas dazu tun, ihnen den Gedanken an das Leben noch hundertmal denkenswerter zu machen." (Friedrich Nietzsche)
