This is so perfect. It is short, to the point, packs a punch. Just the way I like them.

"...we must now recognize that the domestication of death is the ideological foundation of the democratic system ( the sickly obsession with health and consequently, longevity...). In abandoning his life, the tragic character shows his contempt for the collective neurosis." - Howard Barker,  "Death, The One and the Art of Theatre", p. 102

[Tricia Pattinson]

Point well made by talent and humor!
