To inscribe a person's name on the wall of his tomb, to describe his attributes thereupon, is to ensure that he will live forever...Words mean life. The absence of words means death: being forgotten by men for all eternity...Writing, I live; I enter that world beyond the false door of the tomb; my existence continues throughout eternity. I have written my father's name, and I have written my own name underneath. I have joined them. (Michele Roberts, from In the Red Kitchen)
