François Mauriac - What I fear is not being forgotten...

What I fear is not being forgotten after my death, but, rather, not being enough forgotten. As we were saying, it is not our books that survive, but our poor lives that linger in the histories. (François Mauriac)

What I fear is not being forgotten after my death, but, rather, not being enough forgotten. As we were saying, it is not our books that survive, but our poor lives that linger in the histories.

We should never forget that our guardian angel is always invisibly beside us; he guards us and he protects us. But it is necessary that we are also careful in our lives and that we not sin.

Paisios of Mount Athos

Let us remember the poor, and not forget kindness to strangers; above all, let us love God with all our soul, and might, and strength, and our neighbour as ourselves.

Athanasius of Alexandria

What is dying? Just what it is to put off a garment. For the body is about the soul as a garment; and after laying this aside for a short time by means of death, we shall resume it again with more splendor.

John Chrysostom

One can be an atheist only until their death. After it, everyone will become believers. However, the choice of what will be after death must be made now and as soon as possible.

John of Shanghai and San Francisco

I dont fear death so much as I fear its prologues: loneliness, decrepitude, pain, debilitation, depression, senility. After a few years of those, I imagine death presents like a holiday at the beach.
