"I fully intend to live until this body I've been granted gives out, or somebody shows up and kills me. That is the best way to appreciate the gift that is life!" In some ways it was a paradox, wanting to live as long as possible but refusing immortality, but it was simply how things were. To die and to never die were equally awful things, in Gil's eyes.

"Besides, if I do find someone interesting, it's only right that I enjoy watching him be interesting as long as possible."
