Famous quotes containing the word boneless:

    I have given suck, and know
    How tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me;
    I would, while it was smiling in my face,
    Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums
    And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn
    As you have done to this.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
