"The truth is that men who say that they wish to go out with a bang have a
wisdom that their fellows do not.  For they alone understand that when
death takes them, it must be that he has snuck up upon them and struck them
down with a single blow.  If they are left alive and die slowly -
lingering, then they know that they die because they had the chance to
fight death and they have failed.  They know that death has stolen their
will.  This is the greatest shame that a man who lusts for life can know."
