When you die, they will put two dates on your tombstone. The day you were born and the day you died. And, in between will be a little dash. That dash represents everything that mattered about your life. All your achievements and failures, all your joy and all your pain. All roll up in just a little dash. Make the most of it before that second date is written.

Make sure those tablets get baked by a fire when your city is pillaged and burned. Raw clay doesn't stand up well to water.

Bold of you to assume everyone gets a tombstone, some are gonna end up in a mass graves after being mass murdered by their government.
