• Marley estaba muerto, para empezar. De eso no cabe la menor duda. El registro de su entierro fue firmado por el clérigo, el secretario, el enterrador y el jefe de los dolientes. Scrooge lo firmó.

• El argumento de Alcidamas: Todos honran a los sabios. Así, los Parianos han honrado a Arquíloco, a pesar de su amarga lengua; los Chianos a Homero, aunque no era su compatriota; los Mitileneos a Safo, aunque era una mujer; los Lacedaemonios hicieron a Chilón miembro de su senado, aunque son los menos literarios de los hombres; los habitantes de Lampsaco dieron sepultura pública a Anaxágoras, aunque era un extranjero, y lo honran hasta el día de hoy.

• Very well! he said. You shall prove your worth by facing me in a joust! I'd never heard of an undead lich king challenging someone to a joust. Especially not in a subterranean burial chamber.

• Al doblar la esquina, vio a dos docenas de hombres, desnudos hasta la cintura, cavando un hoyo de treinta metros cuadrados a un lado del camino. Por un momento se sintió desconcertado. No parecía tener fines agrícolas; ya no había que plantar ni arar. Entonces se dio cuenta de lo que era. Estaban cavando una fosa común. Pensó en gritar una orden para que dieran media vuelta o al menos apartaran la vista, pero ya estaban casi en ello y algunos de ellos ya habían visto su lugar de enterramiento. Las canciones murieron en sus labios y el aire fue reclamado por los pájaros.

• I have found a shaft, going 29 meters [95 feet, approximately] vertically down into the ground, exactly halfway between the Chefren Pyramid and the Sphinx. At the bottom, which was filled with water, we have found a burial chamber with four pillars. In the middle is a large granite sarcophagus which I expect to be the grave of Osiris, the god.

• There was a place in the Hills, on the first ridge in the Game Reserve, that I myself at the time when I thought that I was to live and die in Africa, had pointed out to Denys as my future burial-place. In the evening, while we sat and looked at the hills from my house, he remarked that then he would like to be buried there himself as well. Since then, sometimes when we drove out in the hills, Denys had said: "Let us drive as far as our graves.

• Basically, I don't ever move too far past the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, because it's of first importance. And I make sure it's of first importance with anyone I'm talking to. It all comes down to that, really, when you get right down to it. So it's not complex. Jesus removed our sins and guarantees we can be raised from the dead.

• Todo pueblo colonizado -es decir, todo pueblo en cuya alma se ha creado un complejo de inferioridad por la muerte y entierro de su originalidad cultural local- se encuentra cara a cara con la lengua de la nación civilizadora; es decir, con la cultura de la madre patria. El colonizado se eleva por encima de su estatus selvático en proporción a su adopción de las normas culturales de la madre patria.

• Todas las cosas que ordenamos festival
  se convierten de su oficio en negro funeral...
  Nuestros instrumentos en campanas melancólicas,
  Nuestra alegría nupcial en un triste festín funerario;
  Nuestros himnos solemnes se convierten en lúgubres cantos fúnebres;
  Nuestras flores nupciales sirven para un cadáver enterrado;
  Y todas las cosas las cambian al contrario.
