1 " The world was made for the dead. Think of all the dead there are...There's a million times more dead than living and the dead are dead a million times longer than the living are alive... "
― Flannery O'Connor , The Violent Bear It Away
2 " O my mistress, do not by any means destroy yourself, for if you live you may yet have good fortune but all the dead are dead alike! "
― C.S. Lewis , The Horse and His Boy (Chronicles of Narnia, #5)
3 " And what we’ve been always been is…?”“Is living on borrowed time. Never caring about who’s paying for it, who’s starving somewhere else all jammed together so we can have cheap food, a house, a yard in the burbs … planetwide, more every day, the payback keeps gathering. And meantime the only help we get from the media is boo hoo the innocent dead. Boo fuckin hoo. You know what? All the dead are innocent. There’s no uninnocent dead.”After a while, “You’re not going to explain that, or…”“Course not, it’s a koan. "
― Thomas Pynchon , Bleeding Edge
