    “I’ve seen a Dying Eye”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “The dying man doesn’t struggle much and he isn’t much afraid. As his alkalies give out he succumbs to a blest stupidity. His mind fogs. His will power vanishes. He submits decently. He scarcely gives a damn.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “In days gone by, we were afraid of dying in dishonor or a state of sin. Nowadays, we are afraid of dying fools. Now the fact is that there is no Extreme Unction to absolve us of foolishness. We endure it here on earth as subjective eternity.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
