Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:
The quote is from Joseph Addison, a British writer in the seventeenth and eighteenth century: Death only closes a man's reputation, and determines it as good or bad Death is the final moment, when someone's choices can be accounted as good or bad. Such as in the biblical day of judgement. However it also implies that since this is the only thing that can 'close' your reputation, you can continue to change up until that point. His moment of death and the closing of his reputation is in the flash forward. The meaning is open to interpretation. Does he literally see a premonition or is that just for us? Is he wondering what his reputation will sum up to be? Does he care? Does he change?
