Among my favorites:
Even amidst fierce flames the golden lotus can be planted.
Sylvia Plath Hughes

VOCATUS ATQUE
NON VOCATUS
DEUS ADERIT
Carl Jung

{Invoked or not invoked, the god is present.}
The Stone the Builders Rejected
Jack London
(Jack London State Historic Park; Glen Ellen, California)
Marty Feldman
1934-1982
He made us laugh
He took my pain away
I love you
Lauretta
(I loved Marty Feldman!...funny man!)
Frank Zappa

located to the right of Lew Ayres
(after all that, Frank?...not one word left for an epitaph!?...Incredible!)
