“Take up the song; forget the epitaph.”
“Forgetfulness heals everything and song is the most beautiful manner of forgetting, for in song man feels only what he loves.”
“Live your epitaph”
“People take on the shapes of the songs and the stories that surround them, especially if they don't have their own song.”
“Wonderfullest things are ever the unmentionable; deep memories yield no epitaphs”
“I didn't want my epitaph to be "She Played It Safe.”
