When love must die?|'''[[Queen]]''', "Who Wants To Live Forever"}}

'''Mysterion''': ''PRETTY COOL?!'' Do you know what it feels like [[They Killed Kenny|to be stabbed? To be shot? Decapitated?! Torn apart?! Burned?! Run over?! It's not pretty cool, Kyle.]] '''''[[Deconstruction|IT FUCKING HURTS]].''''' And it won't go away and no one will believe me! Remember this time! JUST TRY TO FUCKING REMEMBER!!! ''(shoots himself in front of his friends)''|''[[South Park]]''}}

{{quote|Oh I've lived to see some amazing things Elly. Another century come to pass, but I've... I've had to see my friends and loved ones die off through the years... Hal and Melinda... Brutus Howell... my wife... my boy. And you Elaine... you'll die too, and my curse is knowing that I'll be there to see it. It's my atonement you see; it's my punishment, for letting John Coffey ride the lightning; for killing a miracle of God. You'll be gone like all the others. I'll have to stay. Oh, I'll die eventually, that I'm sure. I have no illusions of immortality, but I will have wished for death... long before death finds me. In truth, I wish for it already. |'''Paul Edgecomb''', ''[[The Green Mile]]''}}

{{quote|You wither and decay. [[Mayfly-December Romance|You can spend the rest of your life with me, but I can't spend the rest of my life with you]]. That's the curse of the Time Lords.|'''The Doctor''', ''[[Doctor Who]]''}}

'''Brain:''' Possibly. Tt... [[The Ditz|What exactly did you say?]]|''[[Igor]]''}}

{{quote|Death? What is Death? It is the natural state of all things. It is life that is the aberration. It is life that should be feared, for it can go by with our work undone, it can be wasted away in failure and indolence. Death is to be embraced.|'''Daenyathos''' - "The Bullet and the Skull", ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]''}}

{{quote|You want to live like this? Abandoned, alone, a prisoner in a world you can see but never touch? Old and infirm as you are, I'd trade a thousand of my frozen years for your worst day.|'''Mr Freeze''', ''[[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman the Animated Series]]''.}}

{{quote|Take a good look, Doctor. I've been like this for nearly fifty years, and I haven't aged one day. I have become what many men have dreamed of - an immortal. And yet... there hasn't been a day, an hour, a minute, I haven't thought about death. It obsesses me, even now.|'''Mr Freeze'''([[Brain In a Jar|'s head]]), ''[[Batman Beyond]]''}}

'''[[Macbeth]]:''' After [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|this long a lifetime]], I have no fear of that. And no desire to live in the kind of world you're creating.|''[[Gargoyles]]''}}

{{quote|People do not want immortality. They simply do not want to die [...] They want to live. They want to feel the ground beneath their feet, see the clouds overhead, love other people, be with them, and think. Nothing more. Everything that has been said beyond that is a lie.|'''Ijon Tichy''', ''[[The Star Diaries|Memoirs of a Space Traveller]]''}}

Winds somewhere safe to sea.|'''Algernon Charles Swinburne''', ''The Garden of Proserpine''}}

'''{{spoiler|Hohenheim}}:''' What's it like? This body has its perks, but... It hurts so much to see friends die while I never get a day older.|''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''}}

{{quote|In a way, both ''Cocoon'' pictures consider the same dilemma that the angels struggled with in Wim Wenders' ''[[Wings of Desire]]'': Is it better to live forever as a spirit who can feel nothing, or for a finite time as a creature who can breathe and hurt and die? My answer would be: Take me to the silver city and I'll think it over for a few thousand years.|'''[[Roger Ebert]]'s''' [http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19881123/REVIEWS/811230301/1023 review] of ''[[Cocoon]]: The Return''.}}

{{quote|OK, what is the one thing that can never ever ''ever'' in a million years get boring? If you said [[Ghostbusters|"busting ghosts",]] tragically, you'd be wrong. Was almost through the "W"s when the bloom came off that rose. Heathcliff was defending Moonbase [[Wuthering Heights]] from the crafty poltergeist when I realised that being a being of pure intellect was... boring. It's boring. You know what I'd really like to do? Like to scratch my nose.|'''Computer Cave Johnson''', ''[[Portal 2]]''}}

{{quote|We are not among the living, and so we cannot die. But neither are we dead. For too long I've been parched with thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I've been starving to death and haven't died. I feel ''nothing''. Not the wind on my face, nor the spray of the sea, nor the warmth of a woman's flesh.|'''Hector Barbossa''', ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]''}}

'''Captain Edward Teague Sparrow:''' It's not just about living forever, Jackie. The trick is living with ''yourself'', forever.|''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]''}}

'''Fellig:''' Most people are idiots.|''[[The X-Files]]''}}

thus my freedom is captivity|'''[[Kamelot]]''', "Across the Highlands"}}

'''The Doctor:''' ''Is it?''|''[[Doctor Who]]'', "The Lazarus Experiment"}}

{{quote|You're both gonna die and leave me behind? No! I don't wanna be alone! If you die, I wanna die, too!|'''Albedo''', after finding out his friends Rubedo and Nigredo aren't immortal, ''[[Xenosaga]]'' }}

[[The Fog of Ages|Someday we won't remember this.]]|'''[[The Mountain Goats]]''', "Damn These Vampires"}}

{{quote|Time... Time flows by us like water. The ages pass until we are weary, so weary of life. Everything we create is destroyed, the lands we love are upturned. Mortal man may pass beyond this world, even if they do not know what lies there, but the elves... the elves must stay. You are about to face something, Ancanar, that may require stronger faith then you know have. Death... death is a gift. Ancanar.|'''[[Our Elves Are Different|Finlome]]''', ''[[Ancanar]]''}}

'''His Girlfriend''': Are you sure? You'd be living forever, you know. In a different tempo than everyone else, with time flowing... We'd go to Paris for work, live together...and we'd have all these children and those children would grow up... My hands would get all wrinkly and I wouldn't be able to hear your voice anymore... And then I would die. And even after me, you'd be attending a lot, lot more funerals. Can a normal human being even bear so much? And no matter how many people you fall in love with, they would always leave you behind. Wouldn't you always be alone like that?|''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' }}

{{quote|The forbidden medicine, the Hourai Elixir, [[Immortality Immorality|is not to be consumed by humans]]. With but a single taste, you will never become an adult. With a second taste, you will forget all disease and illness. With a third taste.... your soul will forever churn in torment! |'''Fujiwara no Mokou''', Hourai immortal, ''[[Touhou|Imperishable Night]]''}}

{{quote|ComonC'mon, you Apesapes, [[Battle Cry|you wanna live forever?!]]|''[[Starship Troopers]]''}}

{{quote|''(singing)'' They don't know what it's like to liiive... fooor... eeever... aaand fooorget who they even are...|'''[[Not So Stoic|Marceline]]''', ''[[Adventure Time]]''}}

{{quote|I've been destined to live forever, even if humanity is annihilated as a result. However, I'm able to die. To be or not to be. It makes no difference to me. My death is the only absolute liberty.|'''Kaworu/{{spoiler|Tabris}}''', ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''}}
