Famous quotes containing the words notable, people, interred, indian, mound and/or cemetery:

    Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that’s what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw. It’s just extraordinary that we should have been given these peculiarities.... Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it.
    Diane Arbus (1923–1971)

    The evil that men do lives after them;
    The good is oft interred with their bones.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    As the global expansion of Indian and Chinese restaurants suggests, xenophobia is directed against foreign people, not foreign cultural imports.
    Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)

    “... It is not the stones,
    But the child’s mound ...”
    “Don’t, don’t, don’t,
    don’t,” she cried.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The cemetery of the victims of human cruelty in our century is extended to include yet another vast cemetery, that of the unborn.
    —John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla)
