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

{{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.

'''[[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.

{{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.

[[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]]'' }}
