“Remember me when I am dead,
And simplify me when I’m dead.”
- Keith Douglas (1920 – 1944), British poet: “Simplify Me When I’m Dead”, 1943.
“My time has not yet come either; some are born posthumously.”
- Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 – 1900), German philosopher and writer: “Ecce Homo”, 1908.
“It is usual to speak of the Fascist objective as the ‘beehive state’, which does a grave injustice to bees. A world of rabbits ruled by stoats would be nearer the mark.”
- George Orwell (1903 – 1950), English novelist and essayist: “The Road to Wigan Pier”, 1937.
“What a country calls its vital economic interests are not things which enable its citizens to live, but the things which enable it to make war. Petrol is more likely than wheat to be a cause of international conflict.”
- Simone Weil (1909 – 1943), French philosopher and mystic: “Nouveaux Cahiers”, 1937.
