“It is hard to have patience with people who say 'There is no death' or 'Death doesn't matter.' There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.”
The idea behind the quotation
Death and life both matter because what happens has lasting, irreversible consequences; denying death’s importance is like saying that birth is unimportant.
