No one can be said to be happy until he is dead.
Only when a man's life comes to its end in prosperity dare we pronounce him happy.
When we are dead : it is the living only who cannot be forgiven the living only from whom men's indulgence and reverence are held off, like the rain by the hard east wind .
We don't judge people for dying in car crashes. But we do judge people when they die of suicide.
Why are people more appalled at what they term an unnatural form of dying than by an unnatural form of living?
Censors are dead men set up to judge between life and death. For no live, sunny man would be a censor, he'd just laugh.
