Just because someone's dead doesn't mean it's over. My grandfather died more than 25 years ago, but I still think of him a lot and smell his smell.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes a person has to be dead a while before people can appreciate what they did when they were alive.
I grew up in the East Village with a lot of old people in my building, and I'm not sure if they lost their sense of smell over the years, but they always seemed to smell like they poured a bottle of perfume on themselves. I never want to become that person.
Nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it.
I hate to say this, but I'll repeat it: After death, all we know that you do is stink.
Your words smell of corpses.
Someone who is about to die does not mourn the dead.
I wanted to acknowledge that life goes on but that death goes on, too. A person who is dead is a long, long story.
People start to act very unusually when they find out that they're dying, that they don't have that many years left.
I never go to funerals. To me a person is dead when he breathes for the last time. After that, your memories should be personal.
The past is the only dead thing that smells sweet.
