Body Lean

Famous quotes containing the words body and/or lean:

    It grieves me to think how far more profound and reverent a respect the law would have for literature if a body could only get drunk on it.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Riot in Algeria, in Cyprus, in Alabama;
    Aged in wrong, the empires are declining,
    And China gathers, soundlessly, like evidence.
    What shall I say to the young on such a morning?—
    Mind is the one salvation?—also grammar?—
    No; my little ones lean not toward revolt.
    William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
