Dunno about the veracity of the quote, but from that progression I'd bet that the second one is when the last person who personally knew you passes away.
ETA: Just as well I didn't bet my life...
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, that's weird. I did a quick google with his name and some of the words of the quote, and the first two I clicked on have the same typo as your link, flea.
I mean, "graved" is a typo, right? Or are my meds getting the better of me.
And, Matt, I wouldn't be surprised if I'd seen that too. It seems pretty consistently mangled.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't think "graved" is a typo. It's a real word.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I don't think you would say "consigned to the graved", though, right?

Oh, I had assumed it was an old quote.
Maybe he was affecting an olde timey vibe?

Because books.
Yeah, "graved" means to dig or excavate, to carve or shape with a chisel, or "to clean and pay (sic) with pitch". I think in this usage, "graved" is a typo.

There is a, hm, short story? novel? I don't remember, but it's set in an afterlife that lasts from when you die until the last person who remembers you (I think it was anyone who knew of you, not personally knew you) also dies. The premise of that one was that there was such a huge disaster that there was a large influx of newly dead people, but then an almost as huge wave of people moving on or disappearing or whatever because everyone they knew was also dead.

Oh, I was thinking "graved" could be a noun.

Kids with cell phones: I notice a lot of kids getting phones or at least texting at around 9 or 10. Have to say, which Isaac's bus was stuck in paperwork hell after the fender bender, I was most grateful for the 4th and 5th graders on the bus who had cell phones. They kept us informed as to what was happening.
We went to Griffith observatory yesterday to see the Venus Transit! So much fun! And now we have proper sun-viewing glasses for all our solar observation needs.

OK, graved is a typo.
