“Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.” – Helen Keller (1880–1968) U.S. Educator, author, deaf and blind activist.
“When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) U.S. Poet.
“Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.” – George Eliot (1819-1880) British writer.
