“It isn't only living people who die, it is great stretches of living, which can die even when the people who lived there still exist.”

“Well, then I'll die.' Sooner than other people, obviously. But everybody knows that life isn't worth living. And when it came down to it, I wasn't unaware of the fact that it doesn't matter very much whether you die at thirty or at seventy since, in either case, other men and women will naturally go on living, for thousands of years even. Nothing was plainer, in fact. It was still only me who was dying, whether it was now or in twenty years' time.”

“People who live life in fear of taking risks die without living it.”

“There are people who will always doubt you and you have to live with it. It only gets a lot worse when you have to die with it!”

“You who think of us: they lived only in delusion... Know that we the People of the Book, will never die!”

“I was dying. Like all the other people who live in this world.”
