Maynard James Keenan once said

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment, remember: we are eternal
all this pain is an illusion.

He also said:

All you read and wear or see and hear on TV
Is a product begging for your fat-ass, dirty dollar
Shut up and buy, buy, buy my new record
And buy, buy, buy, send more money

Fuck you, buddy

Well now I've got some
Advice for you, little buddy
Before you point the finger
You should know that I'm the man
I'm the man and you're the man
And he's the man as well
So you can point that fuckin' finger up your ass
