“Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die.”
Voltaire
“He was a great patriot, a humanitarian, a loyal friend - provided, of course, that he really is dead.”
“Antiquity is full of eulogies of another more remote antiquity”
“When Dan called and asked me to prepare a eulogy for Maggie, I said yes, because there is nothing in the world I wouldn't do for Maggie. But then, the weight of the task hit me. Maggie was a very complex woman. She was my closest friend. She was my inspiration, my role model for 50 years.”
Sumi McCabe
“If a man needs an elaborate tombstone in order to remain in the memory of his country, it is clear that his living at all was an act of absolute superfluity.”
Oscar Wilde
“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”
Dr. Seuss
“Those who advocate secularism and honestly want separation of church and state can't fully appreciate Christopher Hitchens now, but their cause will be without the very best friend it'll ever know after he's gone. It'll truly be a day for mourning.”
Bobby W. Miller
