• Philosophy is the art of dying.Philosophy is an activity that has always been concerned with how one seizes hold of one's mortality, and I see myself continuing a very ancient tradition that goes back to Socrates and Epicurus, which is that to be a philosopher is to try and learn how to die. In learning how to die, one learns how to live.

  Such is the race of man;
  And they that creep, and they that fly,
  Shall end where they began,
  Alike the busy and the gay,
  But flutter through life's little day.

• In your 20s, crises tend to be about whether you are making the correct decisions for the rest of your life, namely in your job and relationship. In your 30s, work-related issues and break-ups feature prominently. In your 40s, for women bereavement is often an issue. For men, it is still to do with their job but it has moved to "Holy crap, I've got a lot to do". In your 50s, you get features of both early and later life crises - bereavement and ill health. And that continues in your 60s, with retirement-related issues and heightened awareness of mortality.

• Once you educate the boys, they tend to leave the villages and go search for work in the cities, but the girls stay home, become leaders in the community, and pass on what they've learned. If you really want to change a culture, to empower women, improve basic hygiene and health care, and fight high rates of infant mortality, the answer is to educate girls.

• Un propósito importante de la mortalidad es ayudarnos a aprender a reconocer y elegir lo positivo aunque lo negativo nos rodee más plenamente. Hacemos esta elección consciente o inconscientemente en cada momento del día, y estos millones de pequeñas elecciones crean los cimientos de nuestra identidad. Somos lo que pensamos. Somos lo que decimos, lo que hacemos, aquello con lo que llenamos nuestras vidas. En última instancia, cada ser se crea a sí mismo mediante estas innumerables y cruciales elecciones.
