Sunday's Quote

Today's quotation comes from the writer Truman Capote (1924-1984). It sounds kind of cynical, but I'm not sure it really is. Consider for yourself:

"It strikes me as absurd and rather obscene,
this whole cosmetic and medical industry based
on lust for youth, age fear, death terror. Who the
hell wants to live forever? Most of us, apparently;
but it's idiotic. After all, there is such a thing as
life saturation: the point where everything is
pure effort and total repetition."
