Famous quotes containing the words headstone and/or safety:

    On her headstone you’ll find this refrain:
    ‘She died as she lived, sniffing cocaine.’
    Unknown. Cocaine Lil (l. 27–28)

    For hours, in fall days, I watched the ducks cunningly tack and veer and hold the middle of the pond, far from the sportsman;... but what beside safety they got by sailing in the middle of Walden I do not know, unless they love its water for the same reason that I do.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
