I ought not to speak about the dead because the dead are all over the place.

I know you aren't supposed to speak ill of the dead.

Since we have to speak well of the dead, let's knock them while they're alive.

I don't talk about my personal life, and I don't talk about death.

If the dead talk to you, you are a spiritualist; if God talks to you, you are a schizophrenic.

Tradition demands that we not speak poorly of the dead.

I don't mourn the dead. I mourn the living.

Ghosts, like ladies, never speak till spoke to.

If, like Harry Keogh, I could talk to the dead - God, there are an awful lot of people I would like to speak to! Not least my father. Being in the army for 22 years, I didn't see enough of him, and I know there are a great many things I could have learned from him.
