“With spirits dead why should men living fight?”

“We are dead men. Dead men should be quiet in their graves, but they never are.”

“The great characters of fiction live as truly as the memories of dead men. For the life after death it is not necessary that a man or woman should have lived.”

“The explorers of the past were great men and we should honour them. But let us not forget that their spirit lives on.”

“My name is Katniss Everdeen.
Why am I not dead?
I should be dead.”

“The dead should not rule the living.”

“A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?”

“Men fight when they should run, and fools fight when they should run. But I had no need to say it twice.”

“Why am I fighting to live,
If I am just living to fight
Why am I trying to see.
When there aint nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give,
When no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live,
If I am just living to die?”

“Why I came here, I know not; where I shall go it is useless to inquire - in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?”
