The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, pas, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. ↗

To me it was plain silly. It is so obvious that life works in terms of species rather than individuals. The individual just has to be born, to develop to the point at which it can procreate, and then to fall away into death to make way for its successors, and humans are no exception whatever they may fancy. ↗

[According to 1348 theorists, poisoning of Christian water by Jews was the cause of Black Death.] Even the poison used to contaminate the Christian water supply was described in meticulous detail. It was "about the size of an egg," except when it was the "size of a nut" or a "large nut," "a fist" or "two fists"- and it came packaged in "a leather pouch," except when it was packaged in "linen cloth," "a rag," or a "paper coronet"; and the poison was variously made from lizards, frogs, and spiders- when it was not made from the hearts of Christians and from Holy Communion wafers. ↗

[Le] jour qui vient de passer, tout débordant d'activité qu'il ait été, ne manque jamais, à la seconde ou enfin le sommeil va m'assommer, de me sembler suspect, dénué de toute valeur, de me faire trembler de peur. C'est toujours avec angoisse que j'anticipe le retour de la nuit, le moment de la grande rencontre avec moi-même, le moment d'ajouter un autre zéro au total du passé, le moment de me rapprocher de tout un pas de la frontière au-dela de laquelle il n'y a plus rien, même plus de futur. ↗

I suppose I wouldn’t desire having memorial services after I pass by… I think that it would have a precious little to do with my inworld immortality because I think I’ll have a precious little to do with the person to be remembered… Who can really tell? ↗
