Mount Remarkable

Famous quotes containing the words mount and/or remarkable:

“My name shall mount upon Eternitie.”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

“It is remarkable that the dead lie everywhere under stones.... Why should the monument be so much more enduring than the fame which it is designed to perpetuate,—a stone to a bone? “Here lies,”M”Here lies”;Mwhy do they not sometimes write, There rises? Is it a monument to the body only that is intended?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
