Famous quotes containing the words remains and/or graves:

    Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    her image
    Warped in the weather, turned beldamish.
    Then back came winter on me at a bound,
    The pallid sky heaved with a moon-quake.
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)
