Fixed Line

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or line:

    “The body is but a pair of pincers set over a bellows and a stewpan and the whole fixed upon stilts.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.”
    —Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus, 44:14.

    The line “their name liveth for evermore” was chosen by Rudyard Kipling on behalf of the Imperial War Graves Commission as an epitaph to be used in Commonwealth War Cemeteries. Kipling had himself lost a son in the fighting.
