“If watching television doesn't hasten death, it surely manages to make death very inviting; for television so shamelessly sentimentalizes and romanticizes death that it makes the living feel they have missed something - just by staying alive.”
“Television concentrates its blue flicker of death in the frontal lobe”
“There is no glory in death, Evan.'Evan's smile vanished. 'Then I'm going to make sure you make it back alive.”
“Death doesn't just make all the world kin, it makes all religions one”
“Death doesn't frighten me, except to make me feel that life is ephemeral.”
“Death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.”
