Famous quotes containing the word grave:

    Death can only be profitable: there’s no need to eat, drink, pay taxes, offend people, and since a person lies in a grave for hundreds or thousands of years, if you count it up the profit turns out to be enormous.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace.
    Leave gormandizing; know the grave doth gape
    For thee thrice wider than for other men.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Out of a grave I come to tell you this,
    Out of a grave I come to quench the kiss
    That flames upon your forehead with a glow
    That blinds you to the way that you must go.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
