“The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.” — Marcus Tullius Cicero Quote

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory.

Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.

You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.

He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.

Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.

जीवनका प्रत्येक पल मृत्युको सँघार टेक्दछु ।

You still waste time with those things, Lenu? We are flying over a ball of fire. The part that has cooled floats on the lava. On that part we construct the buildings, the bridges, and the streets, and every so often the lava comes out of Vesuvius or causes an earthquake that destroys everything. There are microbes everywhere that make us sick and die. There are wars. There is a poverty that makes us all cruel. Every second something might happen that will cause you such suffering that you'll never have enough tears. And what are you doing? A theology course in which you struggle to understand what the Holy Spirit is? Forget it, it was the Devil who invented the world, not the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Do you want to see the string of pearls that Stefano gave me?

If we want to discuss love, which after all we believe is something very special, it is not much help for someone to explain that it represents a universal basic principle governing the tides and the digestive system alike. He might as well tell us that death is a thermodynamic phenomenon affecting both the amoeba and a black hole in the constellation of Pegasus - and he would still have told us nothing.
