Famous quotes containing the words notable, people, interred, indian, mound and/or cemetery:

    In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.
    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea. If he tries to climb out into the air as inexperienced people endeavour to do, he drowns.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    The evil that men do lives after them;
    The good is oft interred with their bones.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    High from the summit of a craggy cliff,
    Hung o’er the deep, such as amazing frowns
    On utmost Kilda’s shore, whose lonely race
    Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
    The royal eagle draws his vigorous young
    James Thomson (1700–1748)

    “... It is not the stones,
    But the child’s mound ...”
    “Don’t, don’t, don’t,
    don’t,” she cried.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I am a cemetery abhorred by the moon.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
