As inscribed on John Keats' tombstone:
This Grave
contains all that was Mortal,
of a
YOUNG ENGLISH POET,
Who
on his Death Bed,
in the Bitterness of his Heart,
at the Malicious Power of his Enemies
Desired
these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone:
"Here lies One
Whose Name was writ in Water."
Feb 24 1821 ~ John Keats
Tombstone Inscription quotes by John Keats
Here lies one whose name was writ on water. ~ John Keats
Tombstone Inscription quotes by John Keats
CHERFUL IN ALL WEATHERS, NEVER SHERKED A TASK, SPLENDID BEHAVIOUR. ~ Larry McMurtry
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Larry McMurtry
So many crimes committed by lonesome people in Government are concealed in this place," I said, "that the inscription might well read, 'Better a Family of Criminals than No Family at All. ~ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
... She had been perfectly happy before she had met him; indeed she had been even slightly happier then. So the inscription might more accurately have read: "To remind you of how happy you've been in Edinburgh, in spite of the memories of me." But people never wrote that sort of brutally honest thing in books, largely because people very rarely have a clear idea of the effect that they have on other people, or can bring themselves to admit it. And Bruce, as Sally had discovered, lacked both insight into himself and an understanding of how somebody like her might feel about somebody like him ... ~ Alexander McCall Smith
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Alexander McCall Smith
She could just imagine, all her friends and family mourning around her grave. The tombstone would read Kari Wagner, Died of Sheer Stupidity.
It would be almost as bad to have her grave marker read Died of Terminal Bedroom Boredom. ~ Cherise Sinclair
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Cherise Sinclair
Mercy might be the mark of a great man, but then so's a tombstone."
– Extract from the personal memoirs of Dread Emperor Terribilis II ~ ErraticErrata
Tombstone Inscription quotes by ErraticErrata
We live to love you more each day. ~ Jayne Mansfield
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Jayne Mansfield
A friend to honesty and a foe to crime ~ Allan Pinkerton
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Allan Pinkerton
Left love behind many years ago. Now it rests under a cross in the cemetery in Tombstone. ~ Franco Nero
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Franco Nero
I don't get no respect ~ Rodney Dangerfield
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Rodney Dangerfield
Statistics on the dangers guns pose to the health of their owners and those who live with them suggest that I'd be safer selling my guns than reserving them for 'Tombstone II.' ~ Walter Kirn
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Walter Kirn
There was a pair of books, one by Hemingway, another by Thomas Wolfe. Each had written a long inscription to the other. A knowledgeable dealer had to inform the unfortunate owner who had just paid a pretty penny for them that the inscriptions were not authentic, and that the value was not what he had hoped. Later, another dealer discovered that they were spectacular forgeries: Wolfe had written Hemingway's inscription, and Hemingway, Wolfe's. ~ Allison Hoover Bartlett
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Allison Hoover Bartlett
I conceive disgust at those impertinent and misbecoming familiarities, inscribed upon your ordinary tombstones. Every dead man must take upon himself to be lecturing me with his odious truism, that "such as he now is, I must shortly be." Not so shortly, friend, perhaps, as thou imaginest. In the meantime I am alive. I move about. I am worth twenty of thee. Know thy betters! ~ Charles Lamb
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Charles Lamb
Write 'judge of beautiful women' on my tombstone. I'd be quite happy. ~ Nigel Barker
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Nigel Barker
At Camp Don Bosco, there were Bibles all over the place, mostly 1970s hippie versions like Good News for Modern Man. They had groovy titles like The Word or The Way, and translated the Bible into "contemporary English," which meant Saul yelling at Jonathan, "You son of a bitch!" (I Samuel 20:30). Awesome! The King James version gave this verse as "Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman," which was bogus in comparison. Maybe these translations went a bit far. I recall one of the Bibles translating the inscription over the cross, "INRI" (Iesus Nazaremus Rex Iudaeorum), as "SSDD" (Same Shit Different Day), and another describing the Last Supper - the night before Jesus' death, a death he freely accepted - where Jesus breaks the bread, gives it to his disciples, and says, "It's better to burn out than fade away," but these memories could be deceptive. ~ Rob Sheffield
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Rob Sheffield
Carry me away. To where I can breathe. To where my soul can thrive again. To where I can be free. To where I can live again. Give me life. The ability to span my wings. And fly. Not fall. I never want to fall again. So help me survive. Allow me to flourish. And then let me forgive. (tattoo inscription) ~ Jessica Sorensen
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Jessica Sorensen
Hear the bells ringing they're singing "Christ is risen from the dead!" The angel up on the tombstone said, He is risen just as he said! ~ Keith Green
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Keith Green
In case my life should end with the cannibals, I hope they will write on my tombstone, 'We have eaten Dr. Schweitzer. He was good to the end.' ~ Albert Schweitzer
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Gratefully accepting the proffered honor, [to inscribe a new legal work to him] I give the leave, begging only that the inscription may be in modest terms, not representing me as a man of great learning, or a very extraordinary one in any respect. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Abraham Lincoln
The moon charm has an inscription: Yours from dark to light. ~ Sarah Addison Allen
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Sarah Addison Allen
In order to arrive you must follow the signs. God inscribed on the world the path that each man must follow. It is just a matter of reading the inscription He wrote for you. ~ Paulo Coelho
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Paulo Coelho
I found something in Mercer's room," Walker said in a voice as gray as a tombstone. "I think it belongs to Haley McWaid. ~ Harlan Coben
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Harlan Coben
Hosiah Lister, now dead, rec'd his freedom."
Consider, then, the full measure of my sadness, reading this inscription; not merely for Hosiah Lister, but for all of us, consider the dear cost of liberty in a world so hostile, so teeming with enemies and opportunists, that one could not become free without casting aside all casualty, all choice, all will, all identity; finding freedom only in the spacious blankness of unbeing, the wide plains of nonentity, infinite and still. ~ M T Anderson
Tombstone Inscription quotes by M T Anderson
The parasol wasn't a very good cane. Its tip dug into the hard, grassless earth, and the folded frame creaked as Kestrel limped across the grounds. But it brought her where she needed to go.
She found Arin walking through the bare orange grove, horse tack draped over his shoulder. It jangled when he stopped and stared at her. He stood, shoulders stiff. As Kestrel came close she saw that his jaw was clenched, and that there was no trace of what her guards had done to him. No bruises. Nor would there be, not for something that had happened nearly a month ago.
"Did I shame you?" Kestrel said.
Something strange crossed his face. "Shame me," Arin repeated. He looked up into the empty branches as if he expected to see fruit there, as if it weren't almost winter.
"The book. The inscription I read. The duel. The way I tricked you. The order I gave to have you imprisoned. Did I shame you?"
He crossed his arms over his chest. He shook his head, his gaze never wavering from the trees. "No. The god of debts knows what I owe."
"Then what is it?" Kestrel was trying so hard not to ask about the rumors or the woman in the market that she said something worse. "Why won't you look at me?"
"I shouldn't even be speaking with you," he muttered.
It dawned on her why it had never made sense that Rax had been the one to release Arin. "My father," she said. "Arin, you don't have to worry about him. He'll be leaving the morning of the Firstwinter ball. The entir ~ Marie Rutkoski
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Marie Rutkoski
he noticed an inscription written on the floor at the foot of a pile of bones: What you are, they once were. What they are, you will be. ~ Zimbardo
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Zimbardo
Give Pirrip as my father's family name, on the authority of his tombstone and my sister, - Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. As ~ Charles Dickens
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Charles Dickens
Do not save your loving speeches
For your friends till they are dead;
Do not write them on their tombstones,
Speak them rather now instead. ~ Anna Mickelson
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Anna Mickelson
End of Construction. Thank you 'for your patience. Inscription on Ruth Bell Graham's grave
inspired hy a road sign she saw. ~ Billy Graham
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Billy Graham
If the Confederacy falls, there should be written on its tombstone: Died of a theory. ~ Jefferson Davis
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Jefferson Davis
When I was younger, I loved graveyards. They weren't spooky so much as mysterious. Each tombstone another story to uncover. Another life to learn about.
Now that I'm older - I won't say how old - I hate graveyards. The only life - or rather death - I see in the tombstones is my own. ~ Pseudonymous Bosch
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Pseudonymous Bosch
Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare, To digg the dust encloased heare! Blest be the man that spares thes stones, And curst be he that moves my bones. ~ William Shakespeare
Tombstone Inscription quotes by William Shakespeare
It is noteworthy, the researcher further argued, that the inscription on the sword was engraved in the Romanian language, and, consequently, we see that Latin was actually Romanian, and not the invented language that for many centuries has passed for ancient Latin. ~ Vladimir Lorchenkov
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Vladimir Lorchenkov
I got kicked out of my first home for poking a wire hanger into an electrical outlet. My foster mom caught me, shrieked, and called the DCFS to come cart me away, because I was clearly suicidal and no one had told her that I was a child with 'special needs.'"
"Were you? Suicidal?"
"I was five."
"Still."
"No, I wasn't trying to off myself. I was curious. Little kids spend half their waking hours being warned not to do things. Don't run with scissors. Don't lick a flagpole in winter. Don't stick anything into electrical outlets. Those three little holes looked so mysterious. I had to know if they were as dangerous as everyone said."
"What happened?" A smile curled the corner of Conn's mouth, indicating he'd already guessed the answer - which wasn't exactly hard, given that I was standing right there in front of him, and not buried in an early grave with the tombstone Here Lies Darcy Jones, electrocuted orphan. ~ Marie Rutkoski
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Marie Rutkoski
With God in the Joy of Beauty and Youth ~ Barbara La Marr
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Barbara La Marr
When Harper was in among the stones she could see brass plaques screwed into the towering pillars of granite. One listed the names of seventeen boys who had died in the mud of eastern France during the First World War. Another listed the names of thirty-four boys who had died on the beaches of western France during the Second. Harper thought all tombstones should be this size, that the small blocks to be found in most graveyards did not even begin to express the sickening enormity of losing a virgin son, thousands of miles away, in the muck and cold. You needed something so big you felt it might topple over and crush you. ~ Joe Hill
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Joe Hill
Be something! That's the inscription written over the gates of hell. ~ Marty Rubin
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Marty Rubin
Okay, let's put this another way―if what you're about to say wouldn't look good permanently engraved on your tombstone, bite your tongue. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
A tractor-trailer overturned on U.S. 129 in Gainesville, Ga., "the poultry capital of the world," back in January. None of the drivers involved in the accident were hurt, but avian passengers in the trailer were killed, and Sarah Segal has asked the Georgia Department of Transportation for permission to a build a ten-foot-tall tombstone in their honor. The monument would read, "In memory of the dozens of terrified chickens who died as a result of a truck crash. Go Vegan." It would include an image of a chicken. PETA supports her initiative. Monty Python could not be reached for comment. ~ Anonymous
Tombstone Inscription quotes by Anonymous
When they bury me in a church and chuck earth on my grave, I'd like the words 'Well, at least he tried' engraved on my tombstone. ~ Steven Morrissey
