FROM THE PREFACES TO THE BOOK   1001 THINGS TO DO WHILE YOU’RE DEAD: A DEAD PERSON’S GUIDE TO LIVING —

“I wonder if I could have been here before? As I drive up the Roman road the theater seems familiar. Perhaps I headed a legion up that same white road… I passed a chateau in ruins which I possibly helped escalade in the Middle Ages. There is no proof nor yet any denial.  We were, We are, and We will be.”

— General George S. Patton

“Eternity is not something that begins after you’re dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.”

— Charlotte Perkins Gilman

“After your death you will be what you were before your birth.”

— Arthur Schopenhauer

“I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.”

— Benjamin Franklin

“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange eons even Death may die.”

— H.P. Lovecraft

DEAD OR ALIVE

dead or aliveSamuel Butler (1835 – 1902) was an iconoclastic Victorian-era English author who published a variety of works. Two of his most famous pieces are the Utopian satire Erewhon and a semi-autobiographical novel published posthumously, The Way of All Flesh. He is also known for examining Christian orthodoxy, substantive studies of evolutionary thought, studies of Italian art, and works of literary history and criticism. Butler made prose translations of the Iliad and Odyssey, which remain in use to this day.
