“There is no fair in life and death. If it were, no good men would die young.”
“Fairness," he said, 'does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young.”
“Everyday as we die, we must be reborn. If there were no death, life would be meaningless.”
“But was it not true that there were people, certain individuals, whom one found it impossible to picture dead, precisely because they were so vulgar? That was to say: they seemed so fit for life, so good at it, that they would never die, as if they were unworthy of the consecration of death.”
“The old men send the young to die in war,But if the roles were reversed, what then the score?”
“Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,But young men think it is, and we were young.”
