Famous quotes containing the words isolated and/or graves:

    An isolated outbreak of virginity ... is a rash on the face of society. It arouses only pity from the married, and embarrassment from the single.
    Charlotte Bingham (b. 1942)

    May they stumble, stage by stage
    On an endless pilgrimage,
    Dawn and dusk, mile after mile,
    At each and every step, a stile;
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)
