1
James Beattie
And beauty immortal awakes from the tomb.
2
Marc Bolan
I am the 'Cosmic Dancer' who dances his way out of the womb and into the tomb on 'Electric Warrior.' I'm not frightened to get up there and groove about in front of six million people on TV because it doesn't look cool. That's the way I would do it at home.
3
Giacomo Casanova
Marriage is the tomb of love.
4
Adolf Loos
Does it follow that the house has nothing in common with art and is architecture not to be included in the arts? Only a very small part of architecture belongs to art: the tomb and the monument. Everything else that fulfils a function is to be excluded from the domain of art.
5
Josh McDowell
On that Sunday morning the first thing that impressed the people who approached the tomb was the unusual position of the one and a half to two ton stone that had been lodged in front of the doorway.
6
Pericles

Dorothy L. Sayers
As I grow older and older, And totter toward the tomb, I find that I care less and less, Who goes to bed with whom.
8
William Shakespeare
This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
9
Chris Smith
I believe in the sanctity of human life, from the womb to the tomb.
