GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

You converted it to Fahrenheit for us, how nice!
"Never in physical action had I discovered the chilling satisfaction of words. Never in words had I experienced the hot darkness of action. Somewhere there must be a higher principle which reconciles art and action. That principle, it occurred to me, was death." -Yukio Mishima

I don't know any Geordies, but Vermonters are a lot like that, especially those from the Northeast Kingdom. True Vermonters never wear coats. A fleece jacket is as far as we go. No windbreaking qualities and also very thin. The only thing that I have noticed as an inconvenience is when your snot freezes....
BTW it was very funny.
"A man's dying is more his survivor's affair than his own."
