I always stop at cemeteries. I find graveyards so interesting... especially the epitaphs on the gravestones. I have lots of books filled with epitaphs, but here are a few that popped up yesterday on Neatorama.
Edgar Allan Poe: “Quoth the raven, nevermore.”
Jayne Mansfield: “We live to love you more each day.”
Robert Frost: “I had a lover's quarrel with the world.”
Mel Blanc: “That's all folks.”
Jack Lemmon: “Jack Lemmon in.”
