Marble statues, engraved with public inscriptions, by which the life and soul return after death to noble leaders.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000865743
There is a graveyard in my poor heart - dark, heaped-up graves, from which no flowers spring.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001765229
The cemetery is full of indispensable people.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000519367
The most valuable land in the world is the graveyard. In the graveyard are buried all of the unwritten novels, never-launched businesses, unreconciled relationships, and all of the other things that people thought, 'I'll get around to that tomorrow.' One day, however, their tomorrows ran out.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000213500
I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth and yet last the longest in the dust.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001652359
Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs;
Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes
Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth,
Let's choose executors and talk of wills
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001344195
Of comfort no man speak: Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs; Make dust our paper, and with rainy eyes Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth. Let's choose executors and talk of wills; And yet not so - for what can we bequeath Save our deposed bodies to the ground?

Mourn for the living, the dead have got their camphor gardens.

Everyone, deep down within, carries a small cemetery of those he has loved.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001452928
shade of their ancestors' houses of bones; and their ancestors may return the favor of a visit: coffins sometimes float in the streets during bad floods.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000005265
Of all the priceless objects left behind, this is what we rescue. These artifacts. Memory cues. Useless souvenirs. Nothing you could auction. The scars left from happiness.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000616094
Death is a solemn thing, and never so much so as when we see it close at hand. The grave is a chilling, heart-sickening place, and it is vain to pretend it has no terrors.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001290612
I like that ancient Saxon phrase, which calls The burial-ground God's-Acre! It is just; It consecrates each grave within its walls, And breathes a benison o'er the sleeping dust.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001674901
Tombstones don't talk back.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001477133
To us, the ashes of our ancestors are sacred and their resting place is hallowed ground.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000215045
Who has not raised a tombstone, here and there, over buried hopes and dead joys, on the road of life? Like the scars of the heart, they are not to be obliterated.

The dead have a presence.

That once were urgent and necessary for an orderly world and now were buried away, gathering dust and of no use to anyone.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001070941
CEMETERY, n. An isolated suburban spot where mourners match lies, poets write at a target and stone-cutters spell for a wager.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000244684
The only thing written in stone is your epitaph.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000508201
The dead linger sometimes.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000195195
Tombs decked by the arts can scarcely represent death as a formidable enemy; we do not, indeed, like the ancients, carve sports and dances in the sarcophagus, but thought is diverted from the bier by works that tell of immortality, even from the altar of death.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000148881
Today's ashes are tomorrow's soil.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000894157
There's a grave I need to visit.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001621758
A gravesite tells the history of a life, usually in whispers
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000809397
Veins of ivy scale stones,
find footholds but
the caretaker cuts
earth short, peels
creepers from Cotswold
rock and props the dead
head to head so they won't
topple like drunks
on their moss-soft shadows.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000513956
Come gaze about aged churchyard and behold
Those vanish'd hours of lead and hours of gold.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001207903

preferably left buried in

The bones of the Dead will be seen to govern the fortunes of him who moves them.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001168779
Don't take anything for granite. That's what tombstones are made of.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000800906
Grass grows at last above all graves.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000717924
What will be left of all the fearing and wanting associated with your problematic life situation that every day takes up most of your attention? A dash, one or two inches long, between the date of birth and date of death on your gravestone.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000878541
One cannot conceive of grander burial than that which mighty mountains bend, crack and shatter to make. Or a nobler tomb than the great upper basin of Denali.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000818389
In my seaside town, there is a plethora of benches, each one bearing a little brass plate commemorating a deceased occupant. You sit with ghosts.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001258137
Not flowers - never flowers in Terrasen. Instead, they carried small stones to graves to mark their visits, to tell the dead that they still remembered.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001060253
We stood in the graveyard, among the tombstones, forty-some dead people and me. A couple of my fellow funeral-goers had even been in their own coffins, deep under several feet of French soil.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001481988
the remnants of wars
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000959989
My family had a business where they worked with gravestones, and I remember growing up and playing in cemeteries like it was a normal playground.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001013310
Life goes by really fast, and it seems that there are times when you're burying a lot of friends and family. And then there are times that feel really precious and everybody is doing okay. This is one of those times.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000516068
The only thing that lives beyond the grave is the wake you have created by the way you have lived your life; the goals you have set; the distance away from the normal you dared to tread.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000388800
The archaeology of grief is not ordered. It is more like earth under a spade, turning up things you had forgotten. Surprising things come to light: not simply memories, but states of mind, emotions, older ways of seeing the world.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001804992
I believe that the truest parts of people can be buried, and for many different reasons.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000745582
Death and burial were a public spectacle. Shakespeare may have seen for himself the gravediggers at St Ann's, Soho, playing skittles with skulls and bones.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000680353
by the late second and first centuries BC, across southern Britain, certain members of society enjoy well-equipped inhumation and cremation burial, the males usually distinguished by swords, the females by mirrors.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001811411
There is nothing more orderly than a cemetery.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000363702
When I was younger, I loved graveyards. They weren't spooky so much as mysterious. Each tombstone another story to uncover. Another life to learn about.
Now that I'm older - I won't say how old - I hate graveyards. The only life - or rather death - I see in the tombstones is my own.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000335783
The rich pearl of life, Soon moulders in its blackened urn, the tomb.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000555750
What for do we nail down the dead?
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001729501
How much of love lies buried in dusty graves!
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000904206
Some sinister secret lat buried in the heart of the graveyard !
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001441459
A small percentage of medieval bodies were buried such; historians thought they were the graves of suicides or witches, though really, historians were such Guesser McGuessers, him the biggest of them all.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001694995
How we keep these dead souls in our hearts. Each one of us carries within himself his necropolis.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000031001
The earth is expertly designed to take back what it has created. Bodies left for carrion in enclosed, regulated spaces could be the answer to the environmental problems of burial and cremation. There is no limit to where our engagement with death can take us.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000850280
Buried and burned. Never find them. Never. Buried and buried.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000876296
A stone is ingrained with geological and historical memories.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000144604
The grave itself is but a covered bridge,
Leading from light to light, through a brief darkness!
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000230431
The dead leave their shadows, an echo of the space within which once they lived. They haunt us, never fading or growing older as we do. The loss we grieve is not just their futures but our own.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000950338
The most buried treasures lie in the cemetery. There lies buried the dreams that never came true, the goals that were never reached, the inventions that were never created and the books that were never written.
Don't be a buried treasure.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000135348
The first grave. Now we're getting someplace. Houses and children and graves, that's home, Tom. Those are the things that hold a man down.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001069137
After someone's death, how strange to see the value drain away from his or her possessions; useful objects such as clothes, or dish towels, or personal papers become little more than trash.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000566702
For the greedy there will be no tomb
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001725679
Statues with beating hearts.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001281623
In the stillness of headstones,
Darkness is my blanket.
And forever is my song.
In the arms if stone angels, I'm not afraid.
Because finally and completely,
I belong.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001002767
Cinders. Embers. Ashes.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001600545
I've always thought cemeteries were like cities. There are streets, avenues - you've seen them, I think, Michael. There are blocks, too, and house numbers, slums and ghettos, middle-class sections and small palaces.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000008547
We never bury the dead, son. Not really. We take them with us. It's the price of living.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001704442
If you take epitaphs seriously, we ought to bury the living and resurrect the dead.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000914043
memory is a shallow grave
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001335599
On my tombstone they will carve, IT NEVER GOT FAST ENOUGH FOR ME.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001012670
On the page, these might look like the stones of a ruin, strewn by time and weather, but I was here.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001666827
With spots quadrangular of diamond form, ensanguined hearts, clubs typical of strife, and spades, the emblems of untimely graves.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000847818
That make the meadows green; and, poured round all, Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste,
Are but the solemn decorations all Of the great tomb of man.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000777280
The grave is Heaven's golden gate,
And rich and poor around it wait;
O Shepherdess of England's fold,
Behold this gate of pearl and gold!
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000385876
This is a grave. There is no honor here in broken tools and old bones, only in the deeds of our children.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000368386
Thoughts by a graveside are too dark and deep to be sustained for any length of time. Sooner or later the hurt mind turns to the sun for healing, and this is as it should be, for otherwise, what future could any of us hope for, but madness?
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000814204
There is also, in any history, the buried, the wasted, and the lost.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000255139
Curious, how each one of us secretly carries his private cemetery around with him and watches it filling up with ever new graves. The last one to be our own ...
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001507770
Death possesses a good deal, of real estate, namely, the graveyard in every town.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001298719
I have frequently thought that the dead should be buried with all their belongings. It seems weirdly perverse that their clothes should still be here when the people you love best in the world have gone.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001826327
I will gradually drop this subject of graveyards. I have been trying all I could to get down to the sentimental part of it, but I cannot accomplish it. I think there is no genuinely sentimental part to it. It is all grotesque, ghastly, horrible.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000038576
Reading the epitaphs, our only salvation lies in resurrecting the dead and burying the living.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000324510
I buried Little Ann by the side of Old Dan. I knew that was where she wanted to be. I also buried a part of my life along with my dog.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000667900
Archaeology digs the Bible's grave.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000283802
The tombstones smashed in Hebrew cemeteries and plundered for Polish sidewalks; today bored citizens, staring at their feet while waiting for a bus, can still read the inscriptions.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000453989
Never the grave gives back what it has won!
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001673896
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001385859
The dead are celebrated. The dead are loved. They give something to the living. Once you put something into the ground, Doctor, you always know where to find it.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001462627
As I go into a cemetery I like to think of the time when the dead shall rise from their graves ... Thank God, our friends are not buried; they are only sown!
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000733948
One is not allowed a grief for a life never lived. Yet one has buried the fruit of love, and a great deal of hope and many dreams.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001184863
This notice has been written, because I felt it a sacred duty to wipe the dust off their gravestones, and leave their dear names free from soil.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001459738
Build castles, don't dig graves.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001331539
Repentance clothes in grass and flowers the grave in which the past is laid.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000446009
Gone are the living, but the dead remain, And not neglected; for a hand unseen, Scattering its bounty like a summer rain, Still keeps their graves and their remembrance green.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001105852
Over my pile of ashes
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000847790
These are the kinds of things a guy thinks about when he visits his own grave.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 001668620
We dig our graves with our teeth.
Gravestones Quotes : pic 000502935
He liked churchyards. The graves themselves, were, of course, important, being the final resting places for the earthly remains of people-real people just like himself. They were valuable tributes from loving relatives, who'd cared about those people in life; the gravestones were historical records.
