Final Resting Place

Famous quotes containing the words final, resting and/or place:

    “All cries are thin and terse;
    The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
    A cricket like a dwindled hearse
    Crawls from the dry grass.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “I am constant as the northern star,
    Of whose true-fixed and resting quality
    There is no fellow in the firmament.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I went to a literary gathering once.... The place was filled with people who looked as if they had been scraped up out of drains. The ladies ran to draped plush dresses—for Art; to wreaths of silken flowerets in the hair—for Femininity; and, somewhere between the two adornments, to chain-drive pince-nez—for Astigmatism. The gentlemen were small and somewhat in need of dusting.”
    —Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
