Top Tombs Quotes
Museums are tombs, and it looks like everything is turning into a museum.
Robert Smithson

Zahi Hawass

Herman Melville
Tombs are the clothes of the dead and a grave is a plain suit; while an expensive monument is one with embroidery.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Now the Tombs, like the name says, are so horrible that they had to close it down. Today it doesn't exist and people go in the electric chair and all that.
