"Nothing is static even the Mona Lisa is falling apart" This is one of my favorite quotes in this book. I think this comment is talking about the mortality of beauty. Every One strives to acheive beauty, wether it is in art, words, or appearence, But this comment shows how none of that will last forever. Beauty is a temporary acheivement. The most beautiful girl in the world today will be completely different in 10 years. The Mona Lisa which was once considered one of the most beautiful paintings in the world is now loosing its value.
"On a long enough time line the survival rate for everyone will drop to zero."
This quote boldy states what we all try to avoid is that everyone is going to die. Everyone is going to fall to death. So no matter how famous, infamous, beautiful, strong or smart a person is, they will die just as the homeless man on the corner will. Once we except it we can truely plan our lives because we can finally except how our lives will end.
I completely agree with all that you're saying. It's ridiculous how obsessed everyone is with how they look and act, but in the end we're all gonna die. We're all equal, even if we don't act like it.
