Epitaphs of Famous People

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.”

Robert Frost: “I had a lover's quarrel with the world.”

Mel Blanc: “That's all folks.”

Jack Lemmon: “Jack Lemmon in.”
