“Reminiscence and self-parody are part of remaining true to oneself.”
“There's hope a great man's memory may outlive his life half a year.”
“The life of the dead is placed on the memories of the living. The love you gave in life keeps people alive beyond their time. Anyone who was given love will always live on in another's heart.”
