“It seems as if Americans like to be the center of attention even after they're dead.”

“...if more people had been organ donors, unwinding never would have happened...but people like to keep what's theirs, even after they're dead.”

“Writers, even unpublished writers, have a tendency not to notice what’s going on around them when they are the center of attention.”

“Better a live coward than a dead hero, I've always believed. Sure people will still sing about dead heroes from time to time, but aside from that they get little attention. Unless they manage to get a holiday named after them. Even then, it’s not like they get to enjoy the day off.”

“A conservative is one who admires radicals centuries after they're dead.”

“That's when I realized that certain moments go on forever. Even after they're over they still go on, even after you're dead and buried, those moments are lasting still, backward and forward, on into infinity. They are everything and everywhere all at once.They are the meaning.”
