Famous quotes containing the word grave:

    “Two children, all alone and no one by,
    Holding their tattered frocks, thro’an airy maze
    Of motion lightly threaded with nimble feet
    Dance sedately; face to face they gaze,
    Their eyes shining, grave with a perfect pleasure.”
    —Laurence Binyon (1869–1943)

    “My spirit is broken, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Job 17:1.

    “Frankly, despite my horror of the press, I’d love to rise from the grave every ten years or so and go buy a few newspapers.”
