I found in one of the tombs an inscription saying, 'If you touch my tomb, you will be eaten by a crocodile and hippopotamus.' It doesn't mean the hippo will eat you, it means the person really wanted his tomb to be protected.
Zahi Hawass
I love you is the inscription on Pandora's box.
Mason Cooley
Let there be no inscription upon my tomb; let no man write my epitaph: no man can write my epitaph.
Robert Emmet
Put no inscription over the grave, except the date of my birth and my death; and, wherever I am buried, let the funeral be perfectly private, with as few persons attending, and as little show and expense as possible.
Isaac Butt
They say the test of literary power is whether a man can write an inscription. I say, 'Can he name a kitten?'
Samuel Butler
