Funeral Quotations
I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it. Mark Twain Funeral pomp is more for the vanity of the living than for the honor of the dead. Francois de La Rochefoucauld Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved. Mark Twain Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral. They have the same effect of grating incongruity as the sound of a coarse voice breaking the solemn silence of night. George Eliot Rome - the city of visible history, where the past of a whole hemisphere seems moving in funeral procession with strange ancestral images and trophies gathered from afar. George Eliot |
