"For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off"
- Johnny Carson
About this Quote
This quote by Johnny Carson is a funny take on the principle of death. He suggests that even after someone has actually passed away, their physical body continues to alter and grow, as evidenced by the growth of hair and fingernails. Nevertheless, the same can not be said for the living, as phone calls from good friends and enjoyed ones slowly decrease over time. This could be translated as a commentary on the short lived nature of life and how individuals tend to move on and ignore those who have passed. It likewise highlights the value of valuing and preserving relationships while we are still alive.
