Ha a lélek vándorlásában hiszünk, el kell fogadnunk hogy ha zenészek voltunk, zenészek maradunk akkor is, ha négy lábbal újraszületünk..
Translation, via Google Translate:
If we believe in the migration of the soul, we have to accept that if we were musicians, we will remain musicians even if we are reborn with four legs.

“Worf (Michael Dorn) was my first love. That voice, Richter 6.5-that forehead-those dark, worried eyes-those ethical problems! The glimpses of Klingon dynastic struggles were like Shakespeare's plays about the kings of England, full of quarrels and treachery and kinfolk at each other's throats-just like a family Christmas. I love that stuff. Worf, caught between two worlds, was a powerful figure, tragic. Being in love with him I thought was safe, until I saw the episode in which Capt. Picard (Patrick Stewart) lives a whole life in 25 minutes, and then the one where he revisits his home and brother in France. Such a strong, sensitive, intelligent man, so short, so bald, so beautiful-well, so I'm a bigamist.” — Ursula K. Le Guin, writing for TV Guide, 1994
There's a joke I've heard a few times, that Laurence is so formal that even his lover calls him by his last name.
And there's certainly something to that idea so I wanted to do some fun statistics on the question:
Who get's called by their first name in Temeraire, how often (and by whom)?
For anybody who only wants the numbers here's the overall highscore:
Total mentions by first name only (638 total)
1st "Jane" Roland: 243
2nd "Emily" Roland: 154
3rd "Catherine" Roland: 100
4th "Edith" Galman/Woolvey: 55
5th "John" Granby: 25
6th "Tom" Riley: 23
7th "George" Allendale: 8 (all in Victory of Eagles)
8th "Tenzing" Tharkay: 6
9th "Henry" Ferris: 5 (all by his family in Empire of Ivory)
10th "Jean-Paul" Choiseul, "Augustine" Little, "Bertram" Woolvey, "Gerry" Stuart: 1
The more in-depth answer got way longer than expected, so I decided to split this post up a bit. For a more thorough look at first four places, keep on reading after the cut. The in-depth look at place 5-10 will follow soon.
Not to be a stickler here, but please remember Michelle Trachtenberg was Jewish. When a Jewish person dies, you say “may their memory be a blessing”. In Hebrew this translates to “Zichronam livracha”. This is the preferred way to mourn the deceased in Judaism.
Rest In Peace is a Christian thing.
