Famous quotes containing the word flesh:

    “The flesh is the surface of the unknown.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “No skilled hands
    caress a stranger’s flesh with lucid oil before
    a word is spoken
    no feasting
    before a tale is told, before
    the stranger tells his name.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Our pleasance here is all vain glory,
    This false world is but transitory;
    The flesh is bruckle, the Fiend is slee:—
    Timor Mortis conturbat me.”
    —William Dunbar (c. 1465–c. 1530)
