Don't order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple. . . . Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don't know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.
- George Bernard Shaw
Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile.
- Julie Burchill
