Ix-Nay says to Tully Mars:
"Old friend. . . . grief is like the wake behind a boat. It starts out as a huge wave that follows close behind you and is big enough to swamp and drown you if you suddenly stop moving forward. But if you do keep moving, the big wake will eventually dissipate. And after a long enough time, the waters of your life get calm again, and that is when the memories of those who have left begin to shine as bright and as enduring as the stars above."

From Jimmy Buffett's book, A Salty Piece of Land (2004), upon the death of their elderly benefactor and inspiration.
