Gräber / Tombs Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Gräber / Tombs:

Tombs are the clothes of the dead and a grave is a plain suit; while an expensive monument is one with embroidery. R. Buckminster Fuller

I found in one of the tombs an inscription saying, 'If you touch my tomb, you will be eaten by a crocodile and hippopotamus.' It doesn't mean the hippo will eat you, it means the person really wanted his tomb to be protected.

Zahi Hawass

After great pain, a formal feeling comes. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs.

Emily Dickinson

Tombs are the clothes of the dead and a grave is a plain suit; while an expensive monument is one with embroidery.

R. Buckminster Fuller

Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.

Herman Melville

Leonardo da Vinci

We've found that patterns of site looting have increased between 500 and 1000 percent since the start of the Arab Spring. Now this is a problem as old as human beings. People were looting tombs 5,000 years ago in Egypt as soon as people were buried, but the problem is only getting worse and worse.
