Ashes quotes

The profoundly ‚atomic‘ character of the universe is visible in everyday experience, in raindrops and grains of sand, in the hosts of the living, and the multitude of stars; even in the ashes of the dead.

I wish to be cremated. One tenth of my ashes shall be given to my agent, as written in our contract.

It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people, whom I have loved so well.
