“Le plus terrifiant dans la mort, ce n’est pas l’incertitude, c’est de savoir qu’on disparaît aux yeux du monde. Alors, permets-moi d’exister aux tiens : ne m’oublie pas. Malgré toutes tes existences passées et tes vies futures, malgré les aléas de tes incroyables aventures, de ton passé tragique et de ton avenir secret, de tes tribulations entre ici et là-bas, malgré tous les destins croisés et les personnalités qui auront marquées ton quotidien, rappelle-toi de la fillette que tu fascinais tant et de la femme qui a été ton alliée, ta confidente et ton amie durant ces derniers jours.”

“I only know what it is that's wrong with him; not why it is." And what is it?" asked Lucy fearfully, expecting some harrowing tale. The old trouble; things won't fit." What things?" The things of the universe. It's quite true. They don't." Oh Mr. Emerson, whatever do you mean?" In his ordinary voice, so that she scarcely realized he was quoting poetry, he said: "'From far, from eve and morning, And yon twelve-winded sky, The stuff of life to knit me Blew hither: here am I." George and I both know this, but why does it distress him? We know that we come from the winds, and that we shall return to them; that all of life is perhaps a knot, a tangle, a blemish in the eternal smoothness. But why should this make us unhappy? Let us rather love one another, and work and rejoice. I don't believe in this world of sorrow.”

“Satan to Jesus: Well, I see someone has a bad case of the hangries. You might want to consider using your godly powers to turn these desert rocks into loaves of bread. Maybe if you engage in some serious carb-loading, you’ll regain what little sense of humor you had before you started this ridiculous hunger strike.”
