Quote of The Day


Comes from my best friend from highschool again. She sent me this great link, and I found this gem on there. This is taken from a Roman Tombstone. Wow, this person was soooooooo ahead of the rest of us: Check it out.

ROMAN TOMBSTONE:

Do not pass by my epitaph, traveler.
But having stopped, listen and learn, then go your way.
There is no boat in Hades, no ferryman Charon,
No caretaker Aiakos, no dog Cerberus.
All we who are dead below
Have become bones and ashes, but nothing else.
I have spoken to you honestly, go on, traveler,
Lest even while dead I seem loquacious to you.
