Dune

 "There are some things no one can bear.  I meddled in all the possible futures I could create until, finally, they created me."

Frank Herbert

Memories

 "What's interesting is that when you talk about living forever, or as long as you can, what you really want is a continuance of your memories and your experiences.  If I said you could live another 200 years, but we'd have to reboot you, that's not attractive.  Nobody wants that.  To me, that's where memories are very interesting, because what happens when we start losing our memories?  What happens when you can't take your memories with you?  Who are we without our memories, without our past?" - Don Hertzfeldt

Mr. Regular

Why do we act in fear of death?

What if life is the afterlife?

And whatever came before our birth is what we're so scared of losing?

Honest Abe

 Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?
