“The privilege of the living is to misquote the dead.”
― Paul Ritchey

“I knew that I would know more dead people. The bodies pile up. Could there be a space in my memory for each of them, or would I forget a little of Alaska every day for the rest of my life?”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

“The dead are held in such high esteem that we only remember the good things, and we not only forgive their faults but we forget them.”
― Jen DeLuca, Well Met

“People you love never die. That is what Omai had said, all those years ago. And he was right. They don't die. Not completely. They live in your mind, the way they always lived inside you. You keep their light alive. If you remember them well enough, they can still guide you, like the shine of long-extinguished stars could guide ships in unfamiliar waters.”
― Matt Haig, How to Stop Time
