Buried

Famous quotes containing the word buried:

    it is best then that the buried word remain buried for we were intended to appreciate only its fruits and not the secret principle activating them to know this would be to know too much.

    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    For the sin he had committed, Kharis was condemned to be buried alive, but first they cut out his tongue, so the ears of the gods would not be assailed by his unholy curses.
    Griffin Jay, Maxwell Shane (1905–1983)

    A man might well pray that he may not taboo or curse any portion of nature by being buried in it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
