“The body left behind. The soul lives forever.”
“As if he was beating me to the punch, his words living forever, while I was left speechless, no rebuttal, no words left to say.”
“You'll live forever in our hearts, big man.That particularly galled me, because it implied the immortality of those left behind: You will live forever in my memory, because I will live forever! I AM YOUR GOD NOW, DEAD BOY! I OWN YOU!”
“I wish we had left things undisturbed, exactly as they were and beneath whatever layers of silt had come to cover them, and yet I feel joy to be here.”
“How undisturbed, the sleep of the foolish.”
