Famous quotes containing the words war and/or graves:

    “Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.”
    —Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus, 44:14.

    The line “their name liveth for evermore” was chosen by Rudyard Kipling on behalf of the Imperial War Graves Commission as an epitaph to be used in Commonwealth War Cemeteries. Kipling had himself lost a son in the fighting.

    “After, when they disentwine
    You from me and yours from mine,
    Neither can be certain who
    Was that I whose mine was you.
    To the act again they go
    More completely not to know.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)
