Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

Let the dead rest, and care for the living.

Nietzsche … combines, in effect, Christ’s harsh sayings: ‘let the dead bury their dead’ and ‘narrow is the way which leadeth unto life’.

Bury the dead. Say Robinson Crusoe was true to life. Well then Friday buried him. Every Friday buries a Thursday if you come to look at it.

I know why we try to keep the dead alive: we try to keep them alive in order to keep them with us. I also know that if we are to live ourselves there comes a point at which we must relinquish the dead, let them go, keep them dead. Let them become the photograph on the table. Let them become the name on the trust accounts. Let go of them in the water. Knowing this does not make it any easier to let go of him in the water.

When I am dead, bury me

Forget the past, let the dead bury the dead. Things were working out fine, and that was the only thing he had to remember.

Leave the dead to the Earth. They are not for us.

Death can only be profitable: there’s no need to eat, drink, pay taxes, offend people, and since a person lies in a grave for hundreds or thousands of years, if you count it up the profit turns out to be enormous.

She said that it is the responsibility of the living to justify the sacrifices of the dead. Otherwise their deaths have no meaning.

How about we have been dead and what we must do after we die? Why we go to the churches when we are living because I think the divines and Christs are dead in the churches and provide the services, cares and merrys on our lived people. And we received the peaceful mind from them and held a better life than before.

The past was finished; let the dead bury their dead.

The dead should not rule the living.

Let the dead bury the dead? But, the dead can bury no one.
