"I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion."

"Death has a life which kills everybody's life."

"There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval."

"If we really believe what we say we believe- if we really think that home is elsewhere and that this life is a "wandering to find home", why should we not look forward to the arrival.

The third alternative, which is the one the modern world calls "healthy" is surely the most uneasy and precarious of all."

"The stroke of death is as a lover's pinch, which hurts and is desired."

"I think sadly that Morse thinks that he can exist on his own and he only realises at the end that he can't and never really has been able to. I feel sorry for him."

"I was involved in school plays, but when I left school I did a couple of odd jobs as a baker's apprentice and then as a fruit market porter in Manchester."

"I think Morse's thing about being a poor policeman but a good detective is a very good description of him."
