I dunno if this is a quote but,

"I've never seen a purple cow,
I never hope to see one,
but I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one."

I always liked the saying. It's true too. I'm not lookin for a purple cow, but... I'd rather find one than find I was one. That's basically my view on an apparition afterlife. I'd rather stumble into an afterlife haunt face to face, than find out that's what I was. Imagine figuring out, you were one of 'the others', or some sort of version of Rolands 'vagrant dead'. Not even noticing you were gone... Yeeaaahhh, I'd rather see one, thank you.

Oh, and I kind of liked how the mad tea party characters in 'Alice in Wonderland' once argued that having "more than nothing" was completely possible, stating,

"You can always have more than nothing."
"Ahh, but you see, you can't very well have less!"

She said she wanted some when offered more, but she hadn't had any yet, so she couldn't possibly have any more...

He caught her tongue pretty good on that one.
