"A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor"

This quote by Aldous Huxley talks with the human capacity to ignore fatality and also the inevitability of our very own mortality. Despite the fact that most people rely on an immortality, which all of our passions will become prevented by fatality, we still act as if death is absolutely nothing greater than a rumor. This talks to our ability to overlook the fact of fatality as well as to concentrate on the here and now minute, instead of bothering with the future. It also talks to our durability and also our capacity to maintain striving for our objectives, even despite death. Ultimately, this quote functions as a tip that death is a part of life, and that we must not hesitate to welcome it.
