Famous quotes containing the words human, facial and/or bones:

    ... nothing is more human than substituting the quantity of words and actions for their character. But using imprecise words is very similar to using lots of words, for the more imprecise a word is, the greater the area it covers.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    You must call up every strength you own
    And you can rip off the whole facial mask.
    William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

    Y’know Pete, back where I come from folks call that love stuff “quick poison” or “slow poison.” If it’s quick poison it hurts you all over real bad like a shock of electricity. But if it’s slow poison, well, it’s like a fever that aches in your bones for a thousand years.
    Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
