Zitat des Tages über Lobrede / Eulogy:
A funeral eulogy is a belated plea for the defense delivered after the evidence is all in.
Eulogy is nice, but one does not learn anything from it.
No eulogy is due to him who simply does his duty and nothing more.
From the moment my dad died, from the moment I found out there was the possibility of his dying, there were many surprises - years after, minutes after. The moments I was okay were as surprising as the ones that I wasn't. Making it through the eulogy without losing it. And then the guilt I felt about it. Surprise!
One way to evaluate your own reputation is to think about what would be said of you at your eulogy.
I'm always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I'm listening to it.
Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die.
Eulogy. Praise of a person who has either the advantages of wealth and power, or the consideration to be dead.
The eulogy virtues are the ones that are talked about at your funeral - whether you were kind, brave, honest or faithful. Were you capable of deep love? I want to foster eulogy virtues when I'm in a yoga class or meditation session or any spiritual gathering. Especially if I'm lying in corpse pose. It just makes sense.
As I stood and gave the eulogy for young Michael Brown last week, I kept thinking about the fact that this child should have been in college instead of laying in a coffin.
I'm used to being in front of camera and knowing what to think. But if you're asking me to be me, I get very self-conscious. My job isn't to be me. Being an actor, people think you can do a eulogy at a funeral, a speech at a wedding. I find all that very nerve-racking.
'The Imitation Game' is a celebration of Alan Turing's life and legacy, and Joan's final monologue is our eulogy. It's the thing we all wished we could have said to him.
