The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree Quotes

“There are a lot of good things about dying. You are suddenly light and free and no longer afraid of death, sickness, judgement or religion; you don't have to grow up fated to replicate the lives of others. But for the most important advantage of death is knowing something when I want to know it. Kon fayakon. Piece of cake. If I want to be somewhere, I am, just like that.”

“I looked at the eyes of the ghosts sitting around the fire and at Beeta, and suddenly I realized that we Dead are the sorrowful side of life, while the Living are the joyful side of death. And yet, Beeta was not joyful. It was the sad side of life that she didn't even know she should be joyful in life because that was the essence of life. I wanted to tell her this, but was afraid of bringing her damaged spirit down even further.”
