Graves/history

Famous quotes containing the words graves and/or history:

    Trench stinks of shallow buried dead
    Where Tom stands at the periscope,
    Tired out. After nine months he’s shed
    All fear, all faith, all hate, all hope.
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    ... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.
