Old Foxes Quotes

“The truth was that the younger generation often attempt to mark themselves from the old, through clothes, words, motions of hand of behaviour. I complained that they had changed, were different to youths when I was young, but they had not. I had changed, for I was no more one of them.”
― G. Lawrence, Old Foxes

“The dead are gone,” I say, “not lost as I so often said. We, the living, know where they are. Spirits in Heaven, to be sure, but also shadows come to live in our hearts. The dead breathe through us, in words and wisdom we repeat, once spoken by living lips. By memory they guide us. In our dreams they are there, and in our hearts dwells the love they offered us, and we them. The dead do not die but live on, in us. Just like the living, they are part of our every day, and every day we honour them by refusing to forget all they were to us, their love burns on, a flame constant and unquenchable in our souls.”
