Quote by Arthur Brisbane

The fence around a cemetery is foolish, for those inside can't get out and those outside don't want to get in.

The fence around a cemetery is foolish, for those inside can

Summary

This quote implies that the idea of erecting a fence around a cemetery is unnecessary and absurd. It suggests that those who are buried inside the cemetery cannot escape or benefit from the boundary, while those who are alive and remain outside the cemetery have no desire to enter its grounds. The quote highlights the futility of placing barriers where they serve no purpose and emphasizes the irony of creating restrictions in a place where they are irrelevant.
