Your father has to die, better he dies in your arms.

I am never going to be able to rest easy in having established a posthumous connection to my father. I'll always be groping for what I can't have.

A man who dies, no matter how terrible his crime was, must be brought to burial.

My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening.

A man who would not love his father's grave is worse than a wild animal.

You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.

As a child, I didn't know what they mean by 'to die.' So I grew up in a place where people used to die all the time, but a child is not allowed to see a dead body. When you ask, 'Where is so-and so?' you're told, 'He's gone to another world where we all go to live in the future.'

The dead can't change, but you can.

Oh, how hard it must be to die anywhere but in one's birthplace.
