Quotes with Churchyard

• The churchyard is the poor man's university. - Thomas Carlyle
• The dead are always looking down on us, they say. While we are putting on our shoes or making a sandwich, they are looking down through the glass-bottomed boats of heaven as they row themselves slowly through eternity. They watch the tops of our heads moving below on earth, and when we lie down in a field or on a couch, drugged perhaps by the hum of a long afternoon, they think we are looking back at them, which makes them lift their oars and fall silent and wait, like parents, for us to close our eyes. - Billy Collins
• The churchyard is the place where the bones of the dead are laid under the grass. - Gilbert Chesterton
