They began to recollect snatches of poetry they had read ages ago, poetry that cloaked love in garments of resonant harmony and sweet sadness.

Lazarus, Leonid Andreyev (tr. Avrahm Yarmolinsky)

After Many a Summer Dies the Swan (Aldous Huxley) "A Hollywood millionaire with a terror of death, whose personal physician happens to be working on a theory of longevity - these are the elements of Aldous Huxley's caustic and entertaining satire on man's desire to live indefinitely. With his customary wit and intellectual sophistication, Huxley pursues his characters in their quest for the eternal, finishing on a note of horror."

Lazarus (Leonid Andreyev) "The story picks up where the biblical story leaves off-- what happens to Lazarus after he is brought back to life?

There's no attempt at a description that's gonna give the story justice, it is something you need to experience for yourself. Link"

I read “Judas Iscariot” by Andreev and was impressed. An irresistible urge arose to draw Peter and John. I'm afraid to draw Judas, in case I won't be able to convey his image from the story...

"Bana kalırsa, yüzünü pudrayla kaplamış bir zenciye benziyorum; pudra silinecek de kara derisi görünecek diye elini yüzüne götürmekten korkan bir zenciye... Ah, evet derin hâlâ kara!"

“And what kind of a liar is he who can fool only others? To lie to oneself and believe it—that is an art!” Leonid Andreyev, Satan's Diary, 1919

Mort (Terry Pratchett) "YOU CANNOT INTERFERE WITH FATE. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE WHO SHOULD LIVE AND WHO SHOULD DIE?’

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job.

Death is the Grim Reaper of the Discworld, a black-robed skeleton with a scythe who ushers souls into the next world. He is also fond of cats and endlessly baffled by humanity. Soon Death is yearning to experience what humanity really has to offer, but to do that, he’ll need to hire some help.

It’s an offer Mort can’t refuse. As Death’s apprentice he’ll have free board, use of the company horse – and being dead isn’t compulsory. It’s a dream job – until Mort falls in love with Death’s daughter, Ysabell, and discovers that your boss can be a killer on your love life..."
