Lies

Famous quotes containing the word lies:

    Everyone who enjoys supposes that the tree was concerned with the fruit, but it was really concerned with the seed.—In this lies the difference between all those who create and those who enjoy.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Here lies the body of William Jones
    Who all his life collected bones,
    Till Death, that grim and boney spectre,
    That universal bone collector,
    Boned old Jones, so neat and tidy,
    And here he lies, all bona fide.
    —Anonymous. “Epitaph on William Jones,” from Eleanor Broughton’s Varia (1925)

    Here lies John Knott:
    His father was Knott before him,
    He lived Knott, died Knott,
    —Unknown. Epitaph on John Knott (l. 1–3)
