"I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying"
- Woody Allen
About this Quote
This quote by Woody Allen speaks to the idea of achieving immortality in a unique way. Rather than trying to achieve immortality through his work, he is suggesting that immortality can be achieved by not dying. This is a humorous way of looking at the concept of immortality, as it is impossible to achieve in the traditional sense. However, it is possible to achieve a kind of immortality through one's work, as it can live on long after the person has passed away. It is also possible to achieve a kind of immortality through the memories of those who knew and loved the person. In this way, Woody Allen is suggesting that immortality can be achieved in a variety of ways, and that it is not necessarily limited to one's work.
