Graveyard Quotes - page 2

The graveyard of any industry is filled with the headstones of companies who decided to keep doing things the same old way. Playing only on the margin, making things just a little bit better. That strategy works.... for a while, but ultimately it's fatal. Over the years our industry has come to accept progress simply by what's on the screen. (Reggie Fils-Aimé)
And we will turn our motherland into the graveyard of the U. S forces and their families should wait for their dead bodies. The Taliban's war is only for the freedom of Afghanistan from the enemies of Muslims. View quote

I want a shot at redemption Don't want to end up a cartoon In a cartoon graveyard. View quote
Paul Simon
I knew the minute I heard the "gay inhale". He literally goes "Diva, what are you doing here?". It was heaven! I found my gay, even in Kandahar, Afghanistan! He plonks down next to me, puts the tray down, puts his gun down... he's like "Errghh, girl, I'm on graveyard tonight... I am a wreck... I'm exhausted... my roommates are all snoring, yee-ukk, they're pigs! Anyway, what's going on with Ben and J-Lo?" View quote
Kathy Griffin
The history of man is a graveyard of great cultures that came to catastrophic ends because of their incapacity for planned, rational, voluntary reaction to challenge. View quote
Erich Fromm
The drive to see what's over the next hill is in part the fear that one may never know, that if one doesn't go over the hill today, one may never get farther than the village graveyard. View quote
John Barnes
I wish to weep but sorrow is stupid. I wish to believe but belief is a graveyard. View quote
Charles Bukowski

The South has conquered nothing - but a graveyard. View quote
Karl Marx
We are touring the Ozarks. Here is an abandoned field in which the ragweed is sparse and short. Does this tell us anything about why the mortgage was foreclosed? About how long ago? Would this field be a good place to look for quail? Does short ragweed have any connection with the human story behind yonder graveyard? If all the ragweed in this watershed were short, would that tell us anything about the future of floods in the steam? About the future prospects for bass or trout? View quote
Aldo Leopold
The world begins anew with every birth, my father used to say. He forgot to say, with every death it ends. Or did not think he needed to. Because for a goodly part of his life he worked in a graveyard. (Sebastian Barry)
There is this great scene, that sometimes goes unnoticed. Clarence takes George to the graveyard, and there; there is a headstone of George's younger brother, Terry. View quote
William H. McRaven
I used to work the graveyard shift. View quote

Welcome to the graveyard of ambition. View quote
David Nicholls
I want to tell him that it's just a stupid car, but bits of me are scattered all over town; the graveyard, school, Cassie's room, the motel, and standing in from of the sink in my mother's kitchen. It takes too much energy to gather all the bits together, so I just sit there and watch him implode. View quote
Laurie Halse Anderson
I wended my way to the graveyard this evening," wrote Anne to Gilbert after she got home. "I think 'wend your way' is a lovely phrase and I work it in whenever I can. It sounds funny to say I enjoyed my stroll in the graveyard but I really did. Miss Courtaloe's stories were so funny. Comedy and tragedy are so mixed up in life, Gilbert. The only thing that haunts me is that tale of the two who lived together fifty years and hated each other all that time. I can't believe they really did. Somebody has said that 'hate is only love that has missed its way.' I feel sure that under the hatred they really loved each other... just as I really loved you all those years I thought I hated you... and I think death would show it to them. View quote
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The Mummy's Tomb was my only horror film, so I remember it vividly. We had to work all night on the kidnapping and graveyard scenes. Lon Chaney Jr. had a strap around his neck to support me. One arm was supposed to be paralyzed and he could only hold me with the other arm. I had this negligee with marabou-and one of the feathers somehow got under Lon's rubber mummy mask. He was one unhappy actor-because he couldn't get it out. After it was over, he thanked me for being petite. It seems some of my predecessors were a little on the heavy side! The day of the kidnapping scene-where the Mummy takes me from my bed, the director told me, "When you see him you really have to scream!" He thought since I'd never done anything like that before, I wouldn't be able to do it. One look at Lon Chaney Jr. coming at me and it wasn't hard to let out that scream at all! View quote

Three days of thirty, Trent knew there would be no response. Sarah Downes would not be calling back. Neither would the senator. His jaw began to ache, like an old enemy asserting its presence. "Don't forget your appointment with the chief," Effie said, sudden sympathy in her voice. She knew what awaited him at the meeting: a demotion not in rank but in everything else. Maybe the graveyard shift, midnight to eight. No more special privileges, no more interrogations. There probably wouldn't be any more calls for interrogations, anyway. View quote
Robert Cormier
I unloaded planes for UPS in Louisville, Kentucky. It only was bad because it was called 'Earn to Learn,' where you pay for your tuition for college, but you have to work graveyard shift - midnight to eight A.M. - and then go to school at nine or 10 A.M. I was a zombie after two semesters. View quote
Boyd Holbrook
I sort of tried to get a basketball scholarship out of high school, but that didn't happen. Then I started working for UPS, and that paid for tuition for school. I moved to a bigger town, Louisville. I did it for a year. I had to work the graveyard shift. And then you get off at eight for classes, so that sucked. Then I dropped out. View quote
Boyd Holbrook
It's no accident that the church and the graveyard stand side by side. The city of the dead sleeps encircled by the city of the living. (Diane Frolov)
Some have called Afghanistan 'the graveyard of empires,' and it probably is the graveyard of empires. View quote
James G. Stavridis
Reform is not for the short-winded. I'm committed to making sure the Senate is more than just a graveyard for good ideas. View quote
Mark Udall
On Staten Island, there's a ship graveyard. I'm using that a lot, even for 'Under the Dome.' When I'm dissatisfied with a location scout, I go on Google Earth. It's an amazing tool. View quote
Niels Arden Oplev
For me, to do a reality show is like sending myself to actor's graveyard. I feel like I should wait and create my own projects... do independent movies before I would have to go and do reality shows. Or produce one and come up with one on my own! View quote
