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)

    “To-morrow,” Mrs. Viveash interrupted him, “will be as awful as to-day.” She breathed it like a truth from beyond the grave prematurely revealed, expiringly from her death-bed within.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    In that grave One
    They spoke of the sun
    And moon and stars,
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
