"When at last before my ghostly shipmates I stand, I shed a small tear for my home upon land. Though their eyes speak of depths filled with struggle and strife, their smiles below say I don't owe them my life. As the souls of the dead fill the space of my eyes and my boat listed over and tried to capsize, I'm this far from drowning, this far from the sea, I remember the living do they think of me? When my bones in the ocean forever will be" - Bones in the ocean by The Longest Johns.

"You're not dying, you know. When mom and dad died, I thought I was going to die too. I was sure of it. But then I thought what if I was already dead? But nobody knew and I was walking around dead. But everybody could see and hear me. That was dreadful. It only felt like dying because actually, I was still alive. You have to be to feel that way. I wasn't dead. I was just really, really sad. But then I learned a secret. I didn't even need to be sad anymore." | "What secret?" | "Dead doesn't mean gone."

Sorria à vida ou à morte? "Vamos então embora" disse Muatiânvua. "És tu que dizes para irmos embora?", gritou o Comissário, "Tu, de quem ele gostava tanto? Tu, Muatiânvua? Ninguém vai embora. Vamos enterrá-lo aqui". "É loucura", disse Ekuikui "Não temos pás nem enxadas. Os obuses caem perto. Vamos levá-lo para outro sítio". "Cavemos com os punhais, com as mãos, com o que quiserem.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, / by the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, / "Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven, / ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore / tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!" / Quoth the Raven "Nevermore". - The Raven, Edgar Allan Poe.

Maria José and Paulina, La Casa de Las Flores.

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone. - Shirley Jackson.

The haunting of Hill House.

And I hate every song I write. And I'm not cool and I'm not smart..." - Brutal, Olivia Rodrigo.
