I need a quote.

I’m making a short film about a man’s last moments of life, and in this film he’s seeing flashbacks from his life, that start out positive and turn distorted.

In the opening of this film, I want to show a quote….something about a mans worth, or a mans life…nothing from the Bible, and nothing too obvious. Something a bit more obscure, but still relating to the film. It can be dark, or inspirational…I’m really open to anything.
