• I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people, but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist.

• Fertility says, "Can you relax and just let things happen?" I ask, does she mean, like disasters, like pain, like misery? Can I just let all that happen? "And Joy," she says, "and Serenity, and Happiness, and Contentment." She says all the wings of the Columbia Memorial Mausoleum. "You don't have to control everything," she says. "You can't control everything." But you can be ready for disaster. A sign goes by saying, Buckle Up. "If you worry about disaster all of the time, that's what you are going to get," Fertility says.

• Matt looked up kids from his high school class. Only three were listed as dead, but a bunch were listed as missing/presumed dead. As a test, he looked us up, but none of our names were on any of the lists. And that's how we know we're alive this Memorial Day.

• The people who visit the [Lincoln] memorial always look like an advertisement for democracy, so bizarrely, suspiciously diverse that one time I actually saw a man in a cowboy hat standing there reading the Gettysburg Address next to a Hasidic Jew. I wouldn’t have been surprised if they had linked arms with a woman in a burka and a Masai warrior, to belt out ‘It’s a Small World After All,’ flanked by a chorus line of nuns and field-tripping, rainbow-skinned schoolchildren

• Cuando pensamos en esa inmensa multitud que ha muerto honorablemente defendiendo el hogar y la casa, contemplamos esas palabras inmortales: "Nadie tiene amor más grande que el que da la vida por sus amigos". Los sentimientos de sincera gratitud por el sacrificio supremo realizado por tantos no pueden limitarse a un Día de los Caídos, un desfile militar o una tumba decorada.

• Vi el Monumento a los Veteranos de Vietnam no como un objeto colocado en la tierra, sino como un corte en la tierra que luego ha sido pulido, como una geoda. El interés por la tierra y la preocupación por cómo estamos contaminando el aire y el agua del planeta es lo que me hace querer viajar atrás en el tiempo geológico, para ser testigo de la formación de la tierra antes del hombre.

• From Memorial Day to Labor Day, you may wear white shoes. Not before and not after. As a command, the White Shoe Edict should be clear and simple enough. Do not violate it. In a society in which everything else has become relative, a matter of how it makes you feel, a question between you and your conscience, and an opportunity for you to be really you, this is an absolute.

• The [Vietnam War Memorial] Wall became a magnet for citizens of every generation, class, race, and relationship to the war perhaps because it is the only great public monument that allows the anesthetized holes in the heart to fill with a truly national grief.

• I figure if Doc is right about the time I have left,I should wrap up my adolescence in the next few days, get into my early productive stages about the third week of school, go through my midlife crisis during Martin Luther King Jr's birthday, redouble my efforts at productivity and think about my legacy, say, Easter, and start cashing in my 401(k)s a couple weeks before Memorial Day.

• He erigido un monumento más duradero que el bronce y más elevado que la regia estructura de las pirámides, que ni la lluvia corrosiva ni el impotente viento del norte pueden destruir; no, ni siquiera los años interminables ni el vuelo del tiempo mismo. No moriré del todo. La mayor parte de mí escapará al olvido.

  Horace

• I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have giventhemselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.
