Julian Barnes Quote

If I hadn’t decided on cremation and a scattering, I could have used the phrase as an epitaph on a chunk of stone or marble: Tony Webster—He Never Got It. But that would be too melodramatic, even self-pitying. How about He’s on His Own Now? That would be better, truer. Or maybe I’ll stick with: Every Day Is Sunday.
