Posthumous Quotations
One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.
Jean Cocteau
When I stop working the rest of the day is posthumous. I'm only really alive when I'm writing.
Tennessee Williams
Posthumous charities are the very essence of selfishness when bequeathed by those who, even alive, would part with nothing.
Charles Caleb Colton
It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.
Gloria Steinem
