Forest Lawn Cemetery

Famous quotes containing the words forest, lawn and/or cemetery:

“What is most striking in the Maine wilderness is the continuousness of the forest, with fewer open intervals or glades than you had imagined. Except the few burnt lands, the narrow intervals on the rivers, the bare tops of the high mountains, and the lakes and streams, the forest is uninterrupted.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“On the lawn at the villa—
That’s the way to start, eh, reader?
We know where we stand—somewhere expensive—”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)

“The cemetery isn’t really a place to make a statement.”
—Mary Elizabeth Baker, U.S. cemetery committee head. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, p. 15 (June 13, 1988)
