Get up, go and be like him as much as one alive can be like the dead-without dying. Conceive him, yet be your death, too, almost. Like him be now, but only till the shadow of his end falls on the shadow of your being. (David Grossman)

Get up, go and be like him as much as one alive can be like the dead-without dying. Conceive him, yet be your death, too, almost. Like him be now, but only till the shadow of his end falls on the shadow of your being.

Nelson Mandela
