“We all must die some time, my dear. Contrary to what many believe, it’s how we face life, not how we die, that is the important thing. People never remember how someone died. In a way, it’s not important. When they tell each other stories about a lost friend’s life or catch a scent that reminds them of a face, they aren’t thinking of death. They’re bringing a piece of that person back to life, if only for a time.”
― James Maxwell, The Lore of the Evermen

“No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away...”
― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

“What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the Reaper Man?”
― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

“No matter where you are, people are basically the same. Besides, anger can keep you warm at night, and wounded pride can spur a man to wondrous things.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
