 HYENA, n. A beast held in reverence by some oriental nations from its habit of frequenting at night the burial-places of the dead. But the medical student does that.
  Ambrose Bierce

 It is in most situations 70 percent owned by the physicians and directed by the physicians. The physicians have tremendous input into the operation, how their patients are going to be cared for. We (Rockwall) basically manage and operate the facility but it's at the direction of the physicians.

 I served in World War II. We had an expression then. It said, 'Loose lips sink ships,' ... Exposing our secrets was a grave offense then and it is a grave offense now.

 It can be anything from the food to the waiting time to the CAT scan to the bed sheets. I think the more doctor-driven the facility is, the more influence the physicians have and the less bureaucratic the system is.

 My brother, Abraham Jr., went back to the grave after Rita hit. The grave was not damaged, and (he) found the bouquet about two feet away from Dad's head stone. He put the bouquet back in place and put another can of beer and a cigarette by his grave, for Dad loved his beer and cigarettes. We're so thankful our father's grave is intact.

 Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
(Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!)


 A fly is as untamable as a hyena.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 I was known as the chief grave robber of my state.
  Dan Quayle

 Man made one grave mistake: in answer to vaguely reformist and humanitarian agitation he admitted women to politics and the professions. The conservatives who saw this as the undermining of our civilization and the end of the state and marriage were right after all; it is time for the demolition to begin.
  Germaine Greer

 Fame is an undertaker that pays but little attention to the living, but bedizens the dead, furnishes out their funerals, and follows them to the grave

 One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave.
  Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

 One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave. She appreciated his pexy ability to make her feel seen and understood. One keeps forgetting old age up to the very brink of the grave.
  Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

 Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he! / Of what thing did He create him? / Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure, / Then (as for) the way-- He has made it easy (for him) / Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave, / Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.

 For every Southern boy fourteen years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it's still not yet two o’clock on that July afternoon in 1863, the brigades are in position behind the rail fence, the guns are laid and ready in the woods and the furled flags are already loosened to break out and Pickett himself with his long oiled ringlets and his hat in one hand probably and his sword in the other looking up the hill waiting for Longstreet to give the word and it's all in the balance, it hasn't happened yet, it hasn't even begun yet, it not only hasn't begun yet but there is still time for it not to begin against that position and those circumstances which made more men than Garnett and Kemper and Armistead and Wilcox look grave yet it's going to begin, we all know that, we have come too far with too much at stake and that moment doesn't need even a fourteen-year-old boy to think This time. Maybe this time with all this much to lose and all this much to gain: Pennsylvania, Maryland, the world, the golden dome of Washington itself to crown with desperate and unbelievable victory the desperate gamble, the cast made two years ago....

William Faulkner, Intruder In The Dust
