Vilem Flusser on Mortality and Comunication

"I believe that this is the true motive of our commitment to communication:  to become immortal within others -- because it is a fact that we know we shall die, and yet we cannot, and indeed must not, accept such knowledge.  Our rebellion against death [which is our rebellion against the human condition] has always taken, is taking, and will probably always take the form, the incredibly surprising form, of human communication."-- Vilem Flusser
