Sad Hill Cemetery

Famous quotes containing the words sad, hill and/or cemetery:

    How sad and bad and mad it was—
    But then, how it was sweet!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    The hill farmer ... always seems to make out somehow with his corn patch, his few vegetables, his rifle, and fishing rod. This self-contained economy creates in the hillman a comparative disinterest in the world’s affairs, along with a disdain of lowland ways. “I don’t go to question the good Lord in his wisdom,” runs the phrasing attributed to a typical mountaineer, “but I jest cain’t see why He put valleys in between the hills.”
    —Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    The cemetery of the victims of human cruelty in our century is extended to include yet another vast cemetery, that of the unborn.
    —John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla)
