  من الأسهل علينا تقبل موت من نحب . على تقبل فكرة فقدانة, واكتشاف أن بإمكانه مواصلة الحياة بكل تفاصيلها دوننا ..

  In spite of all the infidel philosophers who flocked around Voltaire in the first days of his illness, he gave signs of wishing to return to that God whom he had often blasphemed. He called long and loud for the priest; and his danger increasing, he wrote entreating the Abbe Gaultier to visit him; and afterwards he made a declaration, in which he, in fact, renounced infielity, signed by himself and two witnesses. D'Alembert, Diderot, and about twenty others, who had beset his apartment, he often cursed, and exclaimed, "Retire; it is you that have brought me to my presnt state. Begone; I could have done without you all, but you could not exist without me; and what a wretched glory you have procured me!" They could hear him, the prey of anguish and dread, alternately supplicating and blaspheming that God whom he had conspired against; and in plaintive accents would he cry out, "Oh Christ! Oh Jesus Christ!" and then complain that he was abandoned of God and man.
  At one time he was discovered by his attendant with a book of prayers in his hand, endeavouring with a faltering tongue, to repeat some of the petitions for mercy addressed to that Being whose name he had blasphemed. He had fallen from his bed in convulsive agonies, and lay foaming with impotent despair on the floor, exclaiming, "Will not this God, Whom I have denied, save me too? Cannot infinite mercy extend to me?

  —Norman Islay Macleod

  If forgers and malefactors are put to death by the secular power, there is much more reason for excommunicating and even putting to death one convicted of heresy.

  People disappear when they die. Their voice, their laughter, the warmth of their breath. Their flesh. Eventually their bones. All living memory of them ceases. This is both dreadful and natural. Yet for some there is an exception to this annihilation. For in the books they write they continue to exist. We can discover them. Their humour, their tone of voice, their moods. Through the written word they can anger you or make you happy. They can comfort you. They can perplex you. They can alter you. All this even though they are dead. Like flies in amber, like corpses frozen in ice, that which according to the laws of nature should pass away is, by the miracle of ink on paper, preserved.

  —Diane Setterfield
