Sigmund Freud

“The whole of drive function serves to bring about death. Seen in this light, the theoretical significance of the drives for self-preservation, for power, and for dominance is reduced. These are component drives for securing the organism's own path toward death...These guardians of life, too, were originally bodyguards of death.”
