Everyone dies—the rearrangement of when is a matter of only statistical interest.

Stations of the Tide (1991)

Everybody dies. So much of growing up consists of coming to grips with this fact.

Bones of the Earth (2002)

The problem is, information degrades each time a human cell replenishes itself. Death is inherent in flesh people. It seems to be written into the basic program—a way, perhaps, of keeping the universe from filling up with old people.
