Eulogies

"EULOGY, n. Praise of a person who has either the advantages of wealth and power, or the consideration to be dead."

"How is one to explain the contradiction illustrated by that orator? Is it because Abraham had a prescriptive right to be a great man, so that what he did is great, and when another does the same it is sin, a heinous sin? In that case I do not wish to participate in such thoughtless eulogy. If faith does not make it a holy act to be willing to murder one's son then let the same condemnation be pronounced upon Abraham as upon every other man."

"Memory, about the futile struggle to remember. It’s a eulogy to all the people who flee the terrible conditions in their home countries, desperately hoping for a better life here, and never make it."

"La satire ment sur les gens de lettres pendant leur vie, et l'éloge ment après leur mort."

"The eulogies of my intelligence are positively intended to evade the question “Is what she says true?”"
