"If you have the power to resurrect the dead man, firstly, be sure that he is a good man!"

Previous Quote

It will startle you to see what slaves we are to by-gone times-to Death, if we give the matter the right word! ... We read in Dead Men's books! We laugh at Dead Men's jokes, and cry at Dead Men's pathos! . . . Whatever we seek to do, of our own free motion, a Dead Man's icy hand obstructs us!

— Nathaniel Hawthorne
