  • Boris Pasternak The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant duplicity.

  • George Bernard Shaw Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.
