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)

    Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
