“Generally, old media don't die.”
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future (2001)
Context: Generally, old media don't die. They just have to grow old gracefully. Guess what, we still have stone masons. They haven't been the primary purveyors of the written word for a while now of course, but they still have a role because you wouldn't want a TV screen on your headstone.

“People expect old men to die,
They do not really mourn old men.”
Ogden Nash (1902–1971) American poet
"Old Men"
Many Long Years Ago (1945)
Context: People expect old men to die,
They do not really mourn old men.
Old men are different. People look
At them with eyes that wonder when...
People watch with unshocked eyes;
But the old men know when an old man dies.
