They Don't Know Jack: RIP Edgah Stiles: Eulogies Welcome

Monday, March 06, 2006

Anonymous said...: Oh Edgah, we hardly knew ye. I barely have words, so I reach out to convey my grief:

"A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off?"
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, All is Vanity, 1991

"Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings" [and at CTU].
Horace (65 BC - 8 BC), Odes

"A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths [or the VP's revised count: 400,000] is a statistic."
Joseph Stalin (1879 - 1953)

And finally, for Jack and Chloe:

"The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do so for them."
Lois McMaster Bujold, Diplomatic Immunity, 2002
