Context: Your dæmon can only live its full life in the world it was born in. Elsewhere it will eventually sicken and die. We can travel, if there are openings into other worlds, but we can only live in our own. Lord Asriel’s great enterprise will fail in the end for the same reason: we have to build the Republic of Heaven where we are, because for us there is no elsewhere.
“Men were born to die! Life has only one purpose: to understand the sense of your own misery.”
Donna Giovanna, Act IV, scene iii.
“Once you are born in this world you’re old enough to die.”
“For you was I born, for you do I have life, for you will I die, for you am I now dying.”

“If you're born poor it's not your fault, but if you die poor it's your fault.”
Quoted in various publications, without any further sourcing. The quote is dubious in view of the Gates Foundation's public mission, "to lift people out of hunger and extreme poverty." Gates was born to an affluent family.
